Volunteers will hand-package the meals from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18, at Conniston Middle School. Volunteers are still needed.

JP Morgan Chase Foundation and Conniston Middle School are additional partners for the project.

On Saturday, a projected 600 students and alumni from Palm Beach Atlantic University will work 17 assembly lines to hand-scoop, weigh, seal and box a goal of 100,000 healthy lentil casseroles. Ingredients of the casserole include lentils, dehydrated vegetables, pink Himalayan salt, and rice; making the meal all-natural and a vegetarian option. The ingredients are specifically formulated to combat the effects of malnutrition, according to information supplied by Feeding Children Everywhere.
