Burbank Sunrise spent the morning with a few hundred Rotarians from District 5280 packaging meals for Rise Against Hunger. The assembly process combines rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables, and a micronutrient flavoring mix formulated by Kraft Heinz Company Foundation that includes 20 essential vitamins and minerals. The cost of each meal is typically 34 cents. The food has a shelf-life of two years. Rise Against Hunger provides over 70% of its meals to support development programs such as school lunch programs, vocational training programs, early childhood development programs, orphanages, and medical clinics. Working with these programs allow beneficiaries to break the cycle of poverty through education, skills development, and healthcare while also receiving needed nutrition. Truly the Magic of Rotary at work!
