Charity to Pack 250,000 Meals Slated to Go to Zambia

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Kids Against Hunger is loading a shipment of 250,000 meals that are being donated to ministries of the Presentation Sisters working in Zambia, Africa.

The ministries are part of the work of Presentation Sisters from Ireland, India, England, New Zealand, Zambia and the United States.

Kids Against Hunger says Sister Deb Nelson recently wrote home to say the country is anticipating a dry year, which means there will be not be as much food available. The organization says shipping can take months, but the food should arrive at a great time of need.

Soukup Construction has volunteered to load the container so the meals can ship. The work will be done at the Kids Against Hunger center on Monday afternoon.
