Cassidy and Kroll Assist in Packing 36,000 Meals

 

Last week at the Georgia Education Technology Conference, Hilary Cassidy and Zack Kroll (pictured above) helped a group of volunteers that packaged 36,000 meals in two hours. Meals of Hope provides hope to people who often need more than nutrition: “To a child who is dealing with the stress and insecurity of not knowing how or when they will receive their next meal,  a comforting bowl of Macaroni and Cheese or Beans and Rice (both fortified with soy protein and 21 vitamins and minerals), provides a bit of hope to carry them through another day.”
