About this Article

About 150 volunteers cheerfully scooped and weighed essential ingredients, filled "Manna Packs" and sealed them for delivery to Haiti during the inaugural session Wednesday of what will be Feed My Starving Children's largest Chicago area operation. "This is the first day. Over the next two weeks, we'll package 272,000 meals," said Mark Crea, the organization's executive director and CEO.
