On Wednesday, we had another awesome meal packing event! The Waters of Excelsior was kind enough to host us as part of their gratitude with a purpose program. These lovely people were incredible packers and even better fundraisers! In two hours of packing, they packed 5,800 meals and had fun doing it. This many meals is enough food to feed a family of 5 for an entire year. That's incredible. Thanks for the hard work!

Pemphero's story

In 2012, Pemphero received her first meal from Many Hands Many Meals in her village in Malawi. She remembers it clearly—not just because the food was nutritious, but because it brought hope, energy, and the ability to concentrate in school. It meant no more headaches from hunger. It meant showing up to class ready to learn. That meal was the first step in changing her life.
Today, Pemphero is in Minnesota—sharing her story and volunteering at one of our food-packing events. Her journey came full circle, and it’s because of people like you.

Learn more about her story in our latest podcast.

On May 1st we joined Orono Community Education for their Wellness Expo. The event as a whole served as a way to learn about ways to get involved in the community, with over 50 organizations in attendance. We set up a table for people to learn more about our mission and a packing station for people to try their hand at packing! During this time, our volunteers helped us pack enough meals to feed a family of 5 for over a year. What a great community building event, thanks Orono!

​On April 15, Clear Springs Elementary in Minnetonka, MN hosted a packing event.  For an hour and a half 90+ volunteers packed 90 boxes of food containing rice, soy, vegetables and vitamins.  Families with children of all ages participated in what has become a much-anticipated annual event at Clear Springs

Curt Carpenter, Clear Springs Principal made it an exciting event by involving the children present to provide updates on the boxes packed throughout the evening.  
​Pemphero Chiwaya, who is visiting the US from Malawi, also participated in the event.  In Malawi, Pemphero has been on the receiving end of these meals and wanted to experience first-hand what was involved in packing the meals.

Each box contains 36 bags, and each bag contains 6 servings.  In total the Clear Springs volunteers packed 19,440 meals.  All of which were funded by the Clear Springs PTO.
