OneMeal Volunteering at Calvary Chapel Chester Springs

Today I had the opportunity to volunteer with OneMeal at my church, Calvary Chapel Chester Springs. It was an amazing opportunity and I got to work with a wonderful group of people to help pack meals for Ukraine. Together, we packed over 270,000 meals today.

OneMeal food is packed and sponsored by partners and volunteers at their own packing events throughout the US and shipped overseas to serve malnourished children in orphanages, schools, homes, churches, and community feeding centers. OneMeal provides a foundational meal that can be used across cultures to deliver sustaining nutrition to impoverished children where food insecurity is a daily reality. OneMeal’s primary ingredient, red lentils , serves as a superior source of protein, critical to physical growth and development, including brain development. OneMeal also delivers much needed micronutrients through PhytoBlend — a combination of 24 essential vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients which fills a major dietary deficit often found in situations of food insecurity. OneMeal has a huge impact worldwide.

I enjoyed dedicating my time towards helping people in need. I also was able to meet new people and learn more about their lives. We packed meals assembly-line style to help thousands of children receive a nutritious daily meal. We spent the morning scooping, pouring, weighing, sealing and loading up boxes with protein and vitamin rich ingredients. The packaged food is then shipped and distributed to trusted partners to ensure the food reaches hungry children in great need of our help. This resulted in over 270,000 meals being prepared and packaged today which will result in being a huge impact to the people in Ukraine. I was glad to be apart of this opportunity and look forward to helping again this fall.
