Shockers Package Food for Haiti

The Shocker volleyball team helped package food for Haiti on Sat., Feb. 6 at the Hughes Metropolitan Complex.

The Wichita State University community and the Elliott School of Communication planned the 1-million-meal food packaging event in collaboration with Numana Inc.

Meals packaged will be transported by the Salvation Army and airlifted by the U.S. military into high need areas of Haiti.

Meals, designed to nourish the body and support the immune system, include servings of rice, soy, freeze-dried vegetables and a 21-vitamin-and-mineral tablet.

Each meal costs 30 cents, and an average table of 12-14 people can package about 3,000 meals in an hour.
