Hutchinson ? Hutchinson’s Rotary Club is planning an event to package 260,000 meals for families still homeless after last year’s earthquake in Haiti.

Josie Thompson, vice president of Hutchinson’s Rotary Club, says they’re hoping to enlist about 1,500 volunteers to tackle the humongous food packaging event April 16.

They’ll be scooping together cups of soy, rice, freeze-dried beans and 21 vitamins and minerals. The ingredients are then measured into bags, sealed, boxed and prepared for shipping. Each bag makes a complete meal for a family of six.

The Hutchinson News reports that organizers still need to raise $78,000 to buy the ingredients.
