Kiwanis One Day activities in Allen, Texas!
>Thank you Shawn Wade for the video!
Kiwanis One Day activities in Allen, Texas, draws 26 CKI members, 27 Key Club members, 1 K-Kid, and 10 Kiwanians to package food that is delivered to children and families all over the world. The food packages are vacuum sealed after being filled in assembly line fashion. Rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables, spices, powdered chicken broth, and other ingredients are added in exact portions to provide a family of 4 to 6 people with a balanced meal. Simply pour the mix into boiling water and cook! Governor Susan and the First Dude were on hand to participate in the preparation. Over 12,000 packages were prepared and added to some 12,000 packages that were already completed. The prepared meals are then boxed and sent to a distribution point where they are parsed to developing countries and to families in the U.S.
The cost of the materials was about 5,000 dollars. The Allen Club has a license for this type of food preparation and precise food prep procedures were followed.
