Help Feed Malnourished Children

A local effort to pack 500,000 meals for malnourished children around the world is holding its first major fundraiser for 2013, a special tropical-themed dinner on August 23, catered by Randy Peters Catering & Event Planning.

All of the proceeds of the fundraiser will benefit the non-profit Feed My Starving Children MobilePack event, scheduled for October 24-26 at William Jessup University.

Randy and Lisa Peters, owners of Randy Peters Catering & Event Planning, are donating all the food and their service for the event – meaning every dollar raised will go toward paying for meals for the MobilePack.

“We’ve had the privilege of participating in a MobilePack and seeing hundreds of people come together and pack meals for malnourished children,” Randy Peters said. “Thousands of children die every day around the world due to malnutrition – we are compelled to make a difference.”

Each meal packed at the MobilePack costs just 22 cents and provides a malnourished child with a scientifically designed meal intended to help bring them back to health.

Tickets for the dinner, to be held at Valley Springs Church, 2401 Olympus Drive in Roseville, are $40 per person. That means each ticket purchased will pay for 182 meals to feed malnourished children!

“We are very excited to partner again with Randy and Lisa Peters for this special fundraiser for a second year,” said Mike Gebhardt, one of the organizers for the MobilePack. “Last year’s dinner raised enough money to pay for more than 63,000 meals – a huge part of the success of our 2012 MobilePack.”

In addition to the tropical dinner, a live auction, silent auction, live entertainment and raffles will also take place throughout the night. Eric Hogue, a longtime radio personality in the region and now a William Jessup University vice president, will serve as master of ceremonies.

Randy Peters Catering & Event Planning is one of the top catering companies in the area, offering unique culinary creations and styling. The catering firm has been regularly recognized for its excellence. Randy and Lisa Peters have been recognized by many organizations for their service to communities in the area.Randy and Lisa started the catering business after running four successful restaurants, most recently Venita Rhea’s in Rocklin.

The dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, August 23. Tickets may be purchased online at SacFMSCMobilePack.org. Sponsorships for the dinner are also available and organizers are accepting donations of auction and raffle items.
 
Feed My Starving Children is a Christian non-profit that distributes culturally-neutral, nutritious meals to nearly 70 countries through more than 90 missions and humanitarian agencies. In most cases, the free food is used to operate orphanages, schools, clinics, and community feeding programs that contribute to long-term community development. Ninety-two percent of donations to FMSC go directly to the food program.
