American Structurepoint employees and their family members packed hundreds of nutritious meals bound for Indiana food pantries at the sixth annual Million Meals Marathon on November 1 at Lucas Oil Stadium. The all-day event seeks to do exactly what its name says – pack one million meals in just a single day to help feed the hungry. Our team took the 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. shift, working in assembly-line fashion with about 3,000 volunteers to package vitamins and minerals, dried vegetables, powered soy protein, and rice into one meal pack that will feed 6 people. The need is great. In Indiana alone, 1 million people – including 1 in 5 children – don’t know where they’ll get their next meal. The organization has packed more than 26 million meals in its 10-year history. A big thanks to all those who participated.
