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 Saturday, September 10, 2022, Cross Catholic Outreach will team up with St. Mel Catholic Church to pack 60,000 meals to be shipped to families in dire need in a developing country. 

This incredible work of mercy by St. Mel Catholic Church in Woodland Hills, CA, is empowering 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 poverty-stricken countries for just 33 cents a meal.
