KAH-Hunger to Hope

As a non-profit satellite for Kids Against Hunger, we are responsible for raising all of our funds to purchase ingredients and equipment and supplies such as bags, boxes, hair nets, hand sanitizer, and cleaners. By combining our efforts with other satellites and purchasing in bulk, we are able to keep our food costs as low as possible.

One meal costs 30 cents. On average, each volunteer packages approximately 200-250 meals per hour depending on their age and experience, which represents approximately $60 -$75 that we must raise per individual per event. We ask all groups to fundraise or look for a sponsor to help defer the cost of their event. We have a list of proven fundraisers.

To feed one child one meal is $0.30. Each bag of food (390-410 grams for rice meals and 290-310 grams for oatmeal meals) includes 6 one-cup servings. Each 32lb box of food holds 36 bags of food. This is the equivalent of 216 meals per box. Each 40-foot container load of food includes 20 pallets x 55 boxes x 216 meals = 237,600 meals of food at a program cost of approximately $71,280.

It costs Kids Against Hunger about 30¢ for ingredients, packaging, and shipping for each meal. As a nonprofit organization we raise all our funds from the generosity of individual donors, corporations, churches, clubs, schools and foundations. Put simply, the more money we receive from donors, the more children we can feed.
