Non-Profit Invites Community Members to Meal Packing Party

CHICAGO, April 6, 2022 (Newswire.com) - The non-profit organization A Boy and His Dream will be packing 50,000 meals to deliver to Nigeria on Saturday, April 9, 2022. The event will be held at the Jones Memorial Community Center in Chicago Heights, IL.

The organizers are inviting the public to volunteer to assist in this endeavor that will benefit underprivileged children in the village of Ekpoma, Nigeria. The event will also be a great learning experience for Chicago-area youth, too. While the mission is serious, the day will be fun and a wonderful experience for families to donate their time to a cause that helps people in need on the other side of the world. 

The public is also encouraged to donate their own items as well, such as new clothes, books, backpacks, school supplies, stuffed animals, and basic hygiene products. These items, along with 50,000 meals, will benefit the children in the village of Ekpoma.
