    Thank you for your support of Kids Against Hunger!

    We look forward to your upcoming session. The packets you'll be preparing have been developed by some of the world's leading food scientists at Cargill, Pillsbury, General Mills and Archer Daniels Midland. This one packet provides six nutritionally-complete servings to feed the hungry here at home and starving children around the world. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can make a difference. Which is great because there are currently 1 billion severely malnourished people resulting in a death every few seconds, predominately among children under the age of five.

    As a completely volunteer-driven organization, we are extremely efficient stewards of all monies and rely solely on private donations to purchase the ingredients you'll package. Thanks to our partnerships, our food costs are just 25 cents/meal, about $25/volunteer. We raise all of our own funds without any payroll, administrative or marketing costs(all donated). Unfortunately, when we run out of funds, we are forced to shut our doors. Because of that, we ask that you please contribute as much of your costs as possible so that we can continue to purchase ingredients for packaging to send off to Haiti at this time.

    We hope your time packaging with us is deeply satisfying and that you'll come again and again.  On behalf of the children of the world, "Thank you!"

    If you have any questions, please give us a call at 925-400-7201.

    Bringing Solutions Lifesize with Telepresence

    I stumbled on this well made video showing the benefit and value of videoconferencing in the enterprise.  This one shows SingleWire, a maker of IP Telephony apps for Cisco phones and how they use it to be part of their "puffer fish" strategy.  Take a look;
