The South Minneapolis Kids Against Hunger location shipped 850,000 meals to Haiti in 2009, with plans to ship over one million meals in 2010—and you can be a part of it! Take a Saturday morning to participate in a great event for a great cause. All proceeds for the run will go towards purchasing food for the Fill Their Plate 100,000 Meal Packathon on Saturday, July 31st. But don’t wait for the packathon to join in, we’ll have packing lines going on site, both during and after the runs.

Then on July 31st, come join us for our third annual Summer Packathon! Depending on the success of the Run and our sponsorships, we hope to purchase enough food supplies to pack 100,000 meals in one day!

You can register for the Run using the link above. We hope you join us, and bring your family and friends!
