Note in the Pocket provides clothing to children and their families from socks to shoes to underwear to pants to tops to jackets.

Stop Hunger Now is an international humanitarian relief program designed to provide food and aid to…read moresome of the most vulnerable people in the world. There are various projects that your group can help with including packaging food, medicine, or toiletries. There are also some projects where volunteers can make pillow case dresses for girls or shorts and shirts for boys instead of packaging dried foods or medicine. The food project involves placing a vitamin packet (donated by Heinz), a scoop of soy flour, a scoop of dried vegetables, and a scoop of rice into a package that is weighed, sealed, and mailed overseas. Each package can feed around 6 people, more or less. If the packages go to a school, each package may be enough to feed at least 6 kids, but the same size package may not be extremely satisfying for several adults. However, it's something. And, it beats going for days without a meal. It's a lot easier for a child to concentrate, learn, and work when they have at least some nourishment. Having a meal, however small, allows them to focus on the task at hand and not their hungry belly. And, when children can get an education, it helps to reduce poverty, and when poverty is reduced in a country, everyone ultimately benefits. Instead of gorging on cake and ice cream, why not have a birthday party at Stop Hunger Now, where kids can help package meals for other kids who don't have easy access to food? They will probably have a blast preparing packages that they know will help to feed a child the same age as them on the other side of the world. You can organize a work group for a volunteer day if your organization encourages volunteer participation. Or, you can just call them up and see how you can help. Overall, a charity with a great concept and vision to help provide food and aid to people that desperately need it.
