The LSU Shreveport Institute for Nonprofit Administration and Research is partnering with an international hunger relief organization known as Numana Inc. to fight hunger in the Shreveport/Bossier community.
Numana packages meals for hungry people around the world.
According to the official Numana website, "Our meals consist of rice, soy protein, freeze-dried pinto beans and a blend of vitamins and minerals targeted to help the immune system of malnourished people. These ingredients are measured into bags, weighed, sealed, boxed, and prepared for shipment at our events. The cost of each life-sustaining meal is only 30 cents. This includes all of the ingredients, packaging, administration, and international shipping of the container."
Stacey Hargis, executive director of the LSUS INAR, says LSUS is taking part in a two part Numana event called "Feed SBC"
"What we're doing with this project is trying to bring as much of this food to Shreveport-Bossier," Hargrove said. "Shreveport Bossier has a huge hunger issue, just as much as any other country."
The Institute is pledging to raise $10,000, and will also be hosting a packaging event on January 18th.
