CHAPEL HILL - The University of North Carolina men’s and women’s soccer programs recently spent a day with Stop Hunger Now to help fight worldwide hunger.
The two programs came together and packaged 10,000 meals that were among 285,000 sent to Guatemala to assist those in need, and support the organization’s goal of “a world without hunger.”
The meals consist of rice, soy protein, dried vegetables and 21 essential vitamins and minerals. The Carolina student-athletes took on various roles during the day, including assembling the meals, weighing and sealing, boxing and loading.
"The Stop Hunger Now program serves as a firm reminder of just how fortunate we are to live in a developed society,” said David October, a sophomore on the men’s side.
