Pack Away Hunger event Sunday at ONU - you can assist

Ohio Northern will be hosting a Pack Away Hunger event from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 24.

This event will pack meals for impoverished children and their families. Consider giving your time if you are a current ONU student, staff or faculty member.

Pack Away Hunger is a non-profit organization dedicated to greatly improving the lives of children and others who suffer from hunger and malnutrition.

The lack of proper nutrition creates serious health and developmental consequences for individuals and has far reaching implications for communities. 

In the United States 15.8 million children do not have regular access to healthy meals. In developing countries one out of six children -- roughly 100 million -- is underweight, the result of acute or chronic malnutrition.
