Meds and Food for Kids

I had a great conversation with a friend who is on the board of Meds and Food for Kids , a not-for-profit organization that feeds starving children in Haiti. Through a special food product that they developed, they help keep 120 children a month from certain death. They also provide dietary education for mothers, and provide some jobs for local workers. What impressed me the most is that all of their adminstrative workers are volunteers, so 100% (that's right, 100%) of your donations go directly to the operation in Haiti. Check out the web page and, if you're moved, make a donation.
