Wauwatosa, WI (June 15th, 2010) - The Salvation Army of Wisconsin & Upper Michigan Disaster Services and Numana* need 4,000 volunteers to package one million meals for earthquake survivors at The Salvation Army Relief Camps in earthquake stricken Haiti. The event, supported by the Wisconsin State Fair Park, takes place on Saturday, June 26th, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, June 27th from 11: 00 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Wisconsin State Fair Park in the Wisconsin Products Pavilion, 640 S. 84th Street, West Allis. Enter at Gate 5.

The Salvation Army feeds at least 20,000 Haitians 3 times a day at its primary Army Relief Camp in Port au Prince Haiti and outlying facilities.

So, roll up your sleeves and help pack one million meals of rice, soy protein, vegetables, and a blend of 21 vitamins for families in Haiti. These culturally appropriate meals are especially designed to support the immune system of people suffering from severe hunger and malnutrition. Volunteers will be assigned to work at a table, packing simple meals in an assembly line fashion.
