Kids Against Hunger is a club that supports people in developing countries who need food. The club meets once a month, every first Monday of the week and finds new opportunities to stop global hunger.

“This club is a big deal to the students who are involved, there are so many people who are less fortunate and the students really care about helping them,” Maggie Cassidy, sponsor for Kids Against hunger and drama teacher said.

Cassidy and a group of around 15 other students meet once a month during school days as well as once every second Saturday of the month. During the Saturdays they meet and go to the Red Cross packaging event in which they package food that is to be shipped out to people in other countries and even locally.

“There are a lot of people there and its really crowded, I love seeing how many people are there and how many people care about the same thing that we do, it’s a lot of fun but it’s also a lot of hard work,” Emily Lentz, senior and president of Kids Against Hunger said.

Lentz said she plans on helping and delivering more food to the less fortunate, especially in Haiti. During the next meeting of Kids Against Hunger, she plans on discussing how she can help those affected by the earthquake.

“We haven’t really talked about it much since it was after our last meeting, but it is definitely something on our priority list. I think it’s important that we help the people over there more than anything because they need it now more than anyone else ,” Lentz said.

Kids Against Hunger plans on having more meetings more often in order to be involved and the club strives to have more packaging events and fundraisers around the school.

“I definitely want to be able to do more fundraisers and packaging events. I hope that we’ll be able to do more of those so that we can get other kids involved too,” Cassidy said. By Hannah Khan <[email protected]>
