“We were grateful to get to participate in such a meaningful activity with Meals of Hope,” said Andrea Evans, Director, DC Metro Employee and Community Strategy for Microsoft. “In this season of giving, Microsoft employees enjoyed the opportunity to pack meals for people who are experiencing food insecurity in our community. And we had fun while doing it, thanks to the thoughtful way Meals of Hope structured the day.”
Meals of Hope developed six meals specifically designed for the American palate and added vitamins, minerals and proteins to supplement an unbalanced diet. Food packages are designed to address the need for an economical, nutritious solution to aid in the fight against hunger. Each packet contains enough food to provide six to eight meals.
“We are thankful and appreciative of the support provided by Microsoft to help us combat the hunger epidemic,” said Jack Day, Vice President of Meals of Hope. “These types of events make for a fun and rewarding day for the volunteers, and they help us deliver healthy meals to underserved individuals.”
