Kids Against Hunger - West Metro wishes to thank the generous individual donors and corporate sponsors, as well as the nearly 700 volunteers, who made this year's Packathon our biggest ever with 250,796 life-saving meals being packaged on Saturday, November 14 at the event held at Mount Calvary in Excelsior. That food will soon be on its way to Haiti, one of the world's poorest countries, and one which is right in America's own "back yard." It will be shipped to Children's International Lifeline in Haiti, http://www.childrenslifeline.com/ and distributed through Lifeline's network of nine distribution sites. The work of our parent organization, Kids Against Hunger, in Haiti has been featured in two recent documentaries - an "On the Road with Jason Davis" special on KSTP, and a segment of "The News Hour with Jim Lehrer" on PBS. Both documentaries can be viewed on the stations' web sites. kstp.com/article/stories/S438242.shtml   www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/latin_america/july-dec08/haitihunger_12-22.html.
