Most of us will never experience what it feels like to go hungry. But the truth is, over 800 million people worldwide are affected by hunger. This is a staggering number and an incredible need…a need our team got to see firsthand when we went to East Africa several years ago for our first (of many) trips.

We saw the effects of hunger and were greatly impacted. With hearts full of love, we decided we had to do something to help. That's when Feed the Need was born. Feeding the hungry goes hand in hand with The KLH Group’s mission of loving others and making a social impact. Over the years, we have done all we can to partner with groups to make an impact: to feed the hungry, help the homeless, and give hope to children and families who need it most.

Recently we had the pleasure of doing just that. We partnered with a great group and an international hunger organization to create a dynamic event! We set the table(s) for a friendly company competition: packaging meals for those affected by hunger globally.

From the word “Go!”, these teams brought the heat. This group of 70 competitors packaged 12,000 meals in a little over an hour! Each bag was filled to the brim with nutritious food designed to last for two years. And each box of meals was packed as fast as these teams could pour, measure, weigh, and seal! The team members kept up their pace, determined to reach their goal. They knew that each meal they packed would make a difference in someone's life.

We had so much fun doing it, with all the high-energy vibes of these energetic team members, a fun DJ, and Hope as the MC getting the crowd going.

When the last box was packed and stacked, there was an undeniable sense of joy, camaraderie and accomplishment. The feeling of unity was palpable.

We want to get the word out that it's FUN and energizing to serve others this way. We give because we have been given so much. And those who join us add even more!
