VIDEO: Heartbreak, Hope, Haiti
We’d like to share a special video we produced following the 2010 Haiti earthquake. The video tells the story of Haiti's poverty and the earthquake devastation as seen first-hand by our Mission Team. Almost every picture in this video was shot by one of our volunteers either here in Iowa or in Haiti.

Meals from the Heartland wants you to join our fight against world hunger!

Give
What if…you knew feeding six people costs only $1.20?
Meals from the Heartland food is produced from rice, soy protein, dried vegetables and vitamins. Each food package feeds six people and costs only $1.20 to produce. But we are only able to package and ship food made from these ingredients that are sponsored, so every gift is important and very appreciated! Donations made to Meals from the Heartland are tax- deductible and critical to our success. Please consider donating – every cents counts. Learn more here.
