Purpose
 |
|
| Orange hair, listlessness, dull eyes and swollen bellies are visible traits of child malnutrition in Haiti, where roughly one of every three children is chronically malnourished. |
Ship containers of Vita Food to developing countries so local ministries can feed starving people.
What It Is
Vita Food is a nutritionally balanced food product specifically developed for malnourished and starving children. It's a combination of carbohydrates, protein, fat and fiber and includes 25 essential vitamins and minerals sealed in an airtight packet. Vita Food is generously donated to Cross by ‘Feed My Starving Children Ministries' and hand-packed by their dedicated and hard-working volunteers. Cross has been offered an unlimited supply of Vita Food, but we need the funds to ship it to starving people around the world.
