• One out of every three children around the world is mal-nourished.
• Over one billion people in the world do not have enough food to eat.
• Every six seconds one child has died from hunger related causes.

This is crazy!  Especially when you think about the fact that we produce enough food to feed every person in the world over 4 pounds of food everyday!

Something is not right. But you can make a difference.

YWAM Minneapolis and Kids Against Hunger make it easy. Bring your group to our campus in Rockford. In just 2 hours, 10 people can pack enough food to feed over 2,000 hungry kids. That’s less time than a movie, or at a football game.

YWAM Minneapolis is part of the Kids Against Hunger network, whose members have the goal of sending 10 million meals to Haiti. Through our partnership with Kids Against Hunger, YWAM has the equipment, expertise and a portion of the raw materials we need to meet our goal of providing 1,000,000 meals.  We are in need of financial contributions for the purchase of ingredients and delivery, and we are in need of volunteers to help us pack the food.

Our Kids Against Hunger meals consist of soy, rice, dried vegetables, along with 21 vitamins and minerals. This food is specifically designed to reverse the process of hunger in children who are dying of starvation.In a 14 oz bag, we can pack 6 servings, at the cost of just 23 cents per meal.  Each meal meets 100% of the nutritional needs of a child for an entire day!  Every individual who can raise $30 and give 2 hours of his or her time, will provide a nutritious meal for 130 children.

Hunger is a major global concern.

• Every six seconds, a child dies from hunger-related causes.
• One out of every three children around the world is mal-nourished.
• Over one billion people in the world do not have enough food to eat.
• Under-nutrition contributes to the death of over 5 million children under the age of five every year.
• 700,000 deaths could be prevented each year simply by providing the recommended daily allowances of Vitamin A and Zinc.
• There is enough food in the world for everyone to have a healthy and a productive life.

Our Mission And Values 

Kids Against Hunger in Rockford is committed to ending hunger throughout the world.  We distribute our food to hungry people, regardless of their religious faith or ethnic background.  We welcome volunteers to join us in this effort, regardless of their religious faith or ethnic background.

We are dedicated to the idea that every human life has value. Every person is created by God and made in His likeness. It is His desire that all people live healthy, productive lives. We believe that God has demonstrated the value of human life in that He gave the life of His son Jesus Christ for all of us.

The food we pack at Kids Against Hunger will never be used to coerce or pressure people into 'becoming Christians'. But it is our hope that every hungry child who receives our meals would know that it is the gift of the God who loves and cares for them.
