Dowd Bennett Volunteers for 2018 St. Louis World Food Day

For the second consecutive year, members of Dowd Bennett joined BAMSL and thousands of other St. Louisans today, volunteering as “Packaging Partners” to help assemble rice/soy protein meals for 2018 St. Louis World Food Day.  The event has been held at John Burroughs School Field House since 2012, and has distributed over 2 million meals to people in need both locally and abroad.

Once assembled, each package provides a nutritionally complete meal for six children or four adults, with vitamin-fortified whole wheat macaroni and cheese OR Missouri-grown rice, dried vegetables, soy protein and a vitamin and mineral packet (containing twenty-one essential vitamins and minerals) to be added during preparation of the meal.
