Greenburgh Insider: 500 volunteers, Elmsford Little League participate in Million Meal Project at Greenville School.

 

A special thank you to the Elmsford Little League and the 500 volunteers who packed 50,000 meals for the hungry living in the Ukraine, Sri Lanka and Nicaragua, among other nations.

 

This weekend, Elmsford Little League teamed up with the Million Meal Project for a meal-packing event with 500 volunteers ages 5-80.  Together, our little league baseball and softball players and their families met their new teammates and showed that you can prepare for your season by doing service work for the community as well as preparing on the field.  ELL and Million Meal Project packed just over 50,000 meals to be sent to schools in communities with extreme levels of food insecurity including Ukraine, Sri Lanka, and Nicaragua.  A few photos are below, and the photo page for the day event is here.  The Million Meal Project was started by the Blumberg family of Edgemont with a goal of rallying our community pack and distribute 1 million meals over the next 5 years for families both at home and around the globe facing food insecurity.  If your community organization, school, temple or church, or group of friends is interested in hosting a meal packing event, please email info@millionmealproject.org. 

Thank you to all the volunteers for making a positive difference in the lives of the less fortunate. You inspire!
