In developing countries, mothers are turning to extreme measures due to the global hunger crisis. Some boil pots of rocks and water so their children can fall asleep imagining they’ll have food in the morning. The sad reality of the COVID-19 pandemic is many people around the world are falling into food insecurity. More than ever, impoverished children and families need nutritious food.

On Friday, April 29 and Saturday, April 30, 2022, the Indiana Knights of Columbus teamed up with Cross Catholic Outreach to pack 36,072 meals to be shipped to families in dire need in a developing country. Additionally, 4,104 mac-n-cheese meals were packed and donated to a local food pantry.

This incredible work of mercy by Indiana Knights of Columbus in Fort Wayne, IN, will empower Cross Catholic Outreach to provide its ministry partners in developing countries with shipments of Vitafood. These nutrient-rich meals will feed children and families in dire need for just 33 cents a meal.
