VOLUNTEERS NEEDED EVERYDAY

May 15, 2020 by Christine Anderson

Please consider volunteering your time and come help us package food!

We are in a HUGE bind to get Rice&Bean meals packaged due to all of our hosts having to cancel events due to COVID-19. We have the packaging set up in the gymnasium where we are taking social distancing precautions so it is set up differently than normal events(more like an assembly line).

  • We will be providing volunteers with a Food for Kidz hat with a  face shield attached and other protective measures available upon arrival
    • If you have your own mask, please bring it because we do not have a surplus of these!
  • At this time we are asking for volunteers who are 16 and older.
  • We are able to accommodate those volunteers that are not able to be on their feet for the duration of the shift (although this is a limited number each shift).
  • We are planning to package EVERY day of the week from 9AM – 3PM.

Come and go as you are willing and able to do so!

301 Main Street in Stewart – the gym is on the colder side so please dress accordingly.  Call 320-583-9667 with questions regarding volunteering!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!

Uganda Mission

March 20, 2019 by Christine Anderson

 

The founder of Food For Kidz, John, pictured in the above left picture, went on a two week mission trip to Africa in February with Mission Link.  During his time in Uganda he helped provide medical care for children and visit various villages and schools. It has been fourteen years since his last trip to Uganda, and during his time there last month he was able to reconnect with a young lady whom he met and helped during his first trip who was only four years old at that time.  Pictured below,  the deaf ministry in Kamuli, will be receiving new bed frames and 30 mattresses and 30 sheet sets with the help of our funding.

The St. John’s Mwongeti Village Dispensary Set to Open

August 16, 2018 by foodforkidz

Food for Kidz Stewart MN donates to St. John’s Mwongeti Village Dispensary in Kenya
Before now, St. John’s Mwongeti Village in Kenya has never had its own medical clinic. With a population of approximately 6,000 residents, people were forced to walk an hour to get to the closest medical facility. All that will change within about a month’s time, as the village welcomes its first Dispensary (the local term for medical clinic). Food For Kidz -Stewart MN is pleased to have had a hand in this life-changing project.

The Excitement is Building!

Teaming up to make this a reality is a group of people in St. John’s Mwongeti Village and friends in the United States who brought together Food For Kidz, the Bergquist Foundation, Hutchinson Rotary, Kino Rotary, and Rotary International. A little over a year ago, a multi-use building called the Village Market was built to house a community library and maze mill. With space remaining in the building, the vision of a medical clinic continued to take shape. Food for Kidz donated $5,500 to purchase instrumentation and supplies for the Dispensary. The Rotary Clubs donated funds and secured a matching grant to purchase medical equipment and furnishings for the Dispensary. With the electrical and water systems complete, an incinerator installed and a latrine built, the Dispensary just erected its signage letting the villagers know it soon would be open.

When the funds arrive in the next few days, the local project manager in St. John’s Mwongeti Village will oversee the completion of the Level 1 clinic, and it should open within a month. An RN will staff the clinic, until growth is established and Level 2 status will allow for their equivalent of a Physicians Assistant to join the staff.

St. John’s Mwongeti Village: Past and Future

The vision for advancing this community continues, as a pharmacy is planned next and hopefully staffed with a Pharmacist. Food For Kidz has a history of helping this village grow through charitable donations dating back to the construction of the Village Market housing the library and maze mill. We donated funds for the mill and shipped 1,800 books to stock the library. Today, people come from neighboring villages to read, research, and use the library space and books.Women are able to mill maze without walking over 2 hours to do so!
