I plan to organize a food awareness concert at my school and neighborhood. Everyone will have to bring a canned food item and I'm going to send the food to countries that need food the most.

I plan to help by placing easy to unwrap and eat food such as cereal bars, ready to serve tuna, small fruit containers, and crackers in small bags for at risk students. The students will discretely be given these items on Friday to have for the weekend.
