Approximately 30 students and 3 staff representing PC Asian Club volunteered their time from 2:30-4:30 on Feb. 20th to package meals at Feed My Starving Children in Brooklyn Park. All together, our shift packaged 17,406 meals. Most of the meals were to be shipped to starving children in Haiti. More information about FMSC can be gained from their website

There was 17,406 meals that were sent out. They can fit six meals in one bag, so they made 2,901 bags.
Each meal contained:
- Rice, the most widely accepted grain around the world.
- Extruded soy nuggets, providing maximum protein at lowest cost.
- Vitamins, minerals and a vegetarian chicken flavoring to give growing children the critical nutritional elements they need.
- Dehydrated vegetables for flavor and nutrition.
Students seemed to enjoy the camaraderie of working as a team for a greater cause. This was the Asian Club’s fourth time volunteering to FMSC.
