 The students in Bagley are lending a helping hand as part of a food packaging event for the Feed My Starving Children Organization. Haiti Clotter shows us how students prepared meals one box at a time. More than 11 million people are undernourished in developing countries according to World Hunger Education Services. High school students from Trek North and Bemidji High School along with other volunteers decided to take action with the food packaging event. Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit organization that sends nutritious meals to malnourished children in more than 70 countries. Within those countries we have right around 200 partnerships. Those are people who are on the ground and they know the kids by name. They know their stories. They're able to get them these meals that are packed. The Bagley Arena turned into a food hub where more than 100 volunteers were at each station preparing meals. Some were measuring ingredients, checking the weight and then sealing the bags. About 20 or so vitamins, veggies, dehydrated potatoes and carrots, soy and then rice. Donations make all of this possible and provide the food. The goal is to feed the body of others. We don't want anybody to be hungry, to anybody to go through starvation and so mobile packs and going to our permanent site are honestly something that's really important and crucial and if we can get more people on board I mean who doesn't want to help somebody. The average session lasts about two hours. One bag equals to six meals, one box is 36 bags and one of these pallets is 36 boxes which equals to over 7,000 meals. Event coordinator Michael Davis says doing something like this unites everyone. It maybe wakes people up to the fact that hey, we've got it way better than most people so we need to get with it and help people up. At the end of the shift, more than 24,000 meals were packaged and ready to go. That's enough to feed 66 children for one year. In Bagley, Haiti Clotter, Lakeland News.
