Feed the Children, Nature Made® and Elijah’s Heart are partnering to feed and assist 800 families in need. The families will gather at Tony Sudekum Apartments (101 University Ct.) Saturday, Oct. 4 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. A community event will follow from 1-3 p.m.
The families have been pre-identified based on need by Elijah’s Heart. Each participating family will receive a 25-pound box of shelf-stable food such as canned vegetables, peanut butter and mac ‘n cheese a 15-pound box of essentials including items such as shampoo, razors and toothpaste, and Nature Made children’s multivitamins. The provided food and essentials will help families in need of basic materials most people take for granted.
During the event, families will enjoy a community partner fair where they can receive additional information about health, education and employment resources and support in their area. Through these collaborative efforts, the organizations will provide a holistic health and wellness experience by providing long-term support to some of the country’s most vulnerable citizens.
“We recognize hunger can’t be fought alone, but by working together, we can provide food and essentials to millions of children and families who live in poverty,” said Travis Arnold, president and chief executive officer of Feed the Children. “Hope for a better future is made possible thanks to our partners at Nature Made.”
The event is part of a three-year partnership between Nature Made, a leading national vitamin and supplement brand, and Feed the Children. The organizations are joining forces to fight hunger and make a significant difference in the lives of American families.
