Creighton Students Fight Hunger

More than 150 Creighton University students participated in a food-packing event on campus in March to assist those in Haiti struggling with malnutrition, starvation and hunger-related diseases. Working in teams, the students put together 47,520 food packages — each containing six nutritionally complete meals that can be mixed with water. The event was sponsored by the El Legado de Compasion student organization through Kids Against Hunger, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to significantly reducing the number of hungry children worldwide. Each meal cost only 13 cents.
