PLEASANT AIR PARTICIPATES IN AN ANNUAL PACKATHON
A Packathon is a food packing event in which participants produce thousands of nutritious meals that will be distributed through Feed the Hunger partners to children and families in need, both in America and internationally. During a two-hour shift, teams of volunteers assemble four ingredients: rice, soy protein or dehydrated pinto beans, dehydrated vegetables, and vitamin powder. These ingredients, which together provide complete nutrition, are packaged in six-serving meal packets that are then weighed, sealed, and boxed. Packathon’s take place in a friendly, high-energy environment, and we welcomed participants ages 5 to 105! Food packed during a Packathon is distributed overseas to refugees and needy children through Christian partners and is given out domestically through food pantries and through supplemental food programs at certain schools.

Future Goals
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is approximately 25 minutes from our office and that means that a majority of military families live in our area. We proudly employ 4 former veterans working for our company now. Our local elementary school (down the road from our office) is a part of the Operation Military Kids Club which is a club to provide a safe place for our military kids to be encouraged, strengthened and connected in their schools. We would love to somehow raise more funds to help this club.
We would also like to get involved more in events or host an event at the Hampstead Kiwanis Park. Now that covid restrictions are lifting they are planning more events: Football, Baseball, Cheerleading games, Easter, Halloween, Turkey trot, Christmas Tree Lighting and other charitable races.
