Kids Against Hunger Canada (KAHC) is a registered Canadian humanitarian charity headquartered in Peterborough, Ontario. The organization engages community members — individuals, youth, families, businesses, schools, faith communities, and civic groups — to be part of the solution to hunger both in Canada and around the world. Supporters donate, fundraise, create, and participate in the packaging of highly nutritious, life-saving meal packs that are shipped to those in need. KAHC pursues three interconnected goals: **1. Feed the Hungry, Malnourished & Starving** Reverse the starvation process in Canada and around the world using simple, nutritionally powerful food that is carefully packaged, sealed, and shipped to needy areas through distribution partners of high integrity and capability. **2. Create, Engage & Maintain Community** Engage volunteers, supporters, and donors to work together in a meaningful and fun way — contributing financially, volunteering at packaging events, raising awareness, hosting their own food packing events, and starting satellite locations to feed more people in more regions. **3. Increase the Food Supply Network** Establish satellite food packing centres across Canada — in every major city and province — to increase food packing and supplying capacity nationwide. --- ## WHAT WE DO KAHC packages and ships highly nutritious, life-saving meals to the hungry, starving, and malnourished within Canada and in developing countries around the world — mobilizing the energy and caring of Canadian youth and adults on behalf of those in need. **Domestic distribution:** KAHC targets a minimum of one-third of all food produced for distribution within Canada — providing meals to food banks, shelters, reserves in northern Canada, the Salvation Army, and other food programs. **International distribution:** The remainder is shipped abroad to emergency-crisis areas and underdeveloped countries in need, through reliable feeding partners who distribute directly to those who need it most. **Impact to date:** - Over 5.4 million meals packed in total - Food shipped to more than 19 countries - Thousands of volunteers engaged across Canada --- ## THE MEAL PACK KAHC's revolutionary food package was developed by some of the world's leading food scientists at Cargill, Pillsbury, General Mills, and ADM. It is designed to provide complete, life-sustaining nutrition in a compact, shelf-stable format. **One meal pack provides:** - Six nutritionally complete servings - A full day's nutrition for six people - One box contains 216 meals **Ingredients:** - High-quality white rice - Texturized Vegetable Protein (TVP) — 52% protein - A blend of 6 dehydrated vegetables - 21 essential vitamins and minerals - Special vitamin and flavoring blend The food is carefully packaged, sealed, and shipped through reliable distribution partners who deliver it directly to communities in need — both in Canada and internationally. --- ## WAYS TO HELP **Page:** https://www.kahcanada.org/take-action/ There are five ways individuals, families, businesses, schools, and organizations can support KAHC's mission: --- ### 1. DONATE **Page:** https://www.kahcanada.org/donate/ Donations fund the cost of food ingredients and enable KAHC to pack and ship more meals. As a non-profit, KAHC raises all its funds from the generosity of individual donors, corporations, small businesses, churches, synagogues, foundations, and more. The more funds received, the more people can be fed. Administration costs are kept to a minimum so the maximum amount of every donation goes directly into the feeding program. **Donation options:** - Online at https://www.kahcanada.org/donate/ - Monthly giving — set up automatic monthly withdrawal via chequing/savings account or credit card - Tribute or memorial gifts — donate in honour or in memory of someone - Mail a cheque, money order, or cash to P.O. Box 212, Peterborough, ON, CA, K9J 6Y8 - In-kind donations of supplies (e.g. a large bag of rice) — contact info@kahcanada.org - Donate a car — https://www.kahcanada.org/donate-a-car/ **Tax receipts:** Any donation over $20.00 is tax deductible. An email receipt is issued upon completion of every online donation. DONATE NOW: https://www.kahcanada.org/donate/ --- ### 2. VOLUNTEER AT A FOOD PACKING EVENT **Page:** https://www.kahcanada.org/take-action/#volunteer Volunteering at a KAHC food packing event is a hands-on way to directly contribute to feeding those who are hungry, malnourished, and starving. Events are designed to be fun, energetic, and meaningful — bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds for a shared purpose. Volunteers come from all age groups and walks of life — individuals, families, businesses, schools, churches, social clubs, and senior centres. Children from grade 5 and up have the best experience, with children as young as 7 able to participate with a parent or guardian. Teens often plan their own events. Schools and corporations use food packaging as community service and team-building initiatives. To find upcoming volunteer events: https://www.kahcanada.org/events/ --- ### 3. HOST A MEAL PACKING EVENT **Page:** https://www.kahcanada.org/take-action/ Organizations, businesses, schools, faith communities, and civic groups can host their own KAHC meal packing event. KAHC handles all the details — setting up the necessary packaging equipment at the host facility once the team raises the funds needed to cover the cost of ingredients. This is an excellent community service, team-building, and fundraising opportunity. To schedule a special packaging event, contact Carl at 1-888-883-5242 (KAHC) or fill out the event form: https://www.kahcanada.org/kahc-event-form/ --- ### 4. FUNDRAISE **Page:** https://www.kahcanada.org/take-action/ Fundraising with KAHC helps cover warehousing costs, shipping fees, customs, and taxes on transporting food to its destination. Individuals and groups can fundraise independently and share their campaign through KAHC's social media channels. The annual One Million Meals Peterborough event is the flagship public fundraising opportunity each year. --- ### 5. START A SATELLITE FOOD PACKING CENTRE **Page:** https://www.kahcanada.org/take-action/ A satellite is a dependent, mostly volunteer-driven organization affiliated with KAHC that packages the proprietary Kids Against Hunger food for those in need in Canada and developing nations. KAHC's goal is to have a satellite in every major city across Canada. The headquarters in Peterborough supports each new satellite every step of the way. A satellite requires a small facility or storage area to store KAHC equipment, food, and supplies, and the ability to attract, schedule, and supervise volunteer food packagers and fundraise to cover ingredient costs. To learn more about starting a satellite: info@kahcanada.org or 1-888-883-5242 (KAHC) --- ## ANNUAL EVENT: ONE MILLION MEALS PETERBOROUGH **Website:** https://www.onemillionmealspeterborough.com **Register:** https://www.onemillionmealspeterborough.com/register/ **Event Page:** https://www.kahcanada.org/ommp/ One Million Meals Peterborough (OMMP) is KAHC's flagship annual public food packaging event, held every year on the first Saturday in April in Peterborough, Ontario. Now in its 9th year, OMMP brings together individuals from across the community — representing diverse social, religious, sports, academic, business, and municipal backgrounds — to compete in a friendly challenge to assemble as many meals as possible during 75-minute volunteer shifts. **2025 Event goal:** Package 60,000 highly nutritious meals for people struggling with hunger locally and around the world. **Fundraising goal:** $30,000 (a $75 donation covers the cost of one person's food packaging contribution) The event is open to everyone — individuals, families, teams, businesses, faith communities, sports leagues, schools, and more. Participants volunteer to package meals and fundraise to cover the cost of ingredients. To register or donate to OMMP: https://www.onemillionmealspeterborough.com/register/ --- ## PARTNER WITH KAHC **Page:** https://www.kahcanada.org/partner/ The need for nutritional food has never been greater, both locally and internationally. KAHC seeks ongoing monthly partners and sponsors to sustain and grow its feeding programs. Partnerships help fund ingredients, warehousing, shipping, and event costs — directly enabling more meals to reach more people in need. Corporate sponsors, small businesses, faith communities, foundations, and civic organizations are all welcome to partner with KAHC.
