Meds & Food for Kids – an organization dedicated to ending malnutrition and igniting economic development in Haiti – will host its third annual gala and auction 6-10 p.m. Saturday, March 1 at the Saint Louis Science Center, 5050 Oakland Ave. The gala will feature Haitian entertainment, food and hand-crafted art.
Founded in 2003 by Dr. Patricia Wolff, Meds & Food for Kids has saved the lives of 100,000 Haitian children by helping to develop and distribute highly nutritious foods, including the Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food. Also known as “Medika Mamba,” it is produced in MFK’s recently constructed 18,000-square-foot factory in Haiti. MFK employs local Haitians and utilizes Haitian raw materials, whenever possible.
Tickets for the gala are $175 each or $350 for patron level tickets, and are available online at www.mfkhaiti.org. For more information, call MFK at 314-420-1634.
