The meals packaged during the event will be distributed to organizations who provide human aid and to local food banks in Osceola County. This event is open to the public and is need of volunteers to help reach the meal goal.

On May 3rd and 4th, hundreds of community members from the Central Florida area will gather in Mills Park to hand-scoop, weigh, seal, and box over 500,000 healthy lentil casseroles.
