What we aim to solve

Across the globe, 47 million children suffer from severe malnutrition. Three million children die of hunger annually (2). (1) Feeding America (2) World Food Program USA

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal is to provide Life Changing Nutrition to children and families that suffer from hunger and malnutrition.
Life. Hunger steals quality of life. For some it steals life itself. Small children are especially vulnerable, and each day more than 8,000 perish due to hunger related causes.
Changing. Fueled by like-minded community members, we provide meals that have the power to transform lives. Regular access to nutritious food does more than satisfy in the short term. It builds the foundation for a hopeful future.
Nutrition. Superior nutrition in each serving is vital. Our meals carry a powerful vitamin/mineral combination. This newly developed formula is scientifically proven to improve key health factors of the chronically hungry.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We engage with businesses, churches and civic organizations to create the highly nutritious Nutri-Plenty meals at meal packing events. These meals are then distributed to local food pantries and to communities in developing nations. For our international partners in Haiti and Guatemala, the meals are a critical addition to the other services and education they provide to bring a community out of poverty.
Our Executive Director and entire staff work daily to develop new events and nurture ongoing events. We also offer quarterly public meal packing events where community members can come to pack meals at our Indianapolis facility.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The staff at Pack Away Hunger brings expertise from both the for-profit and non-profit worlds in the areas of development, management, volunteerism, education and logistics. Over the past 12 years, interaction with hundreds of event sponsors and tens of thousands of volunteers has helped us refine our packing events to provide a meaningful and efficient service opportunity, one that leaves a lasting impact with participants.
Additionally, we have extensive experience vetting our international partners to ensure that the meals we provide are distributed to the proper channels and avoid corruption that can plague developing nations. We regularly communicate with our domestic food banks and pantries to ensure the proper distribution of the meals as well as education about its preparation and nutritional benefits.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Since 2008, we have created and distributed more than 18 millions meals to people in need. Additionally, more than 83,000 volunteers have participated in meal packing events. In 2020, PAH hopes to hit 20 million meals packed.
Our goal is to continue to increase both of these numbers so that we can continue to reach more people in our local communities and abroad.
