Muffins For Meals

Published by Jill Cherkas on May 1, 2013 in Fundraiser, General News, OM NOM NOM and On Campus. 0 Comments

SLU’s Disability Services Club is sponsoring Muffins For Meals: Bake Sale for Feed My Starving Children, this upcoming week. They will be selling home-baked muffins in order to raise money for Feed My Starving Children, a Christian nonprofit hunger relief organization.

It is estimated that 925 million people are chronically hungry, even though there is enough food in the world for everyone to have adequate nutrition. FMSC works with volunteers to produce MannaPackTM Rice, a scientifically formulated food that is culturally acceptable worldwide. Almost 70 countries use these to give to children in need.

The Disability Services Club is trying to produce 100,000 meals for children around the world. In order to do this, they need to raise 22¢ for each meal, or $23,000 total. To raise money, they will be selling and delivering muffins around SLU’s campus this Monday, May 6th! If you would like to order a box of a dozen or half-dozen muffins (including cinnamon streusel, double chocolate chip, and blueberry muffins), fill out the order form here by this Friday, May 3rd at 2pm. The recommended donation for a dozen muffins is $22, and $11 for a half-dozen.
