On Wednesday, August 31, United Way of Northeast Louisiana partnered with KenChaux and Feeding Children Everywhere for a Day of Action focused on working together to help alleviate hunger.

Over 75 community volunteers joined KenChaux volunteers to “Do the RICE Thing" at the Kennedy Rice Mill in Mer Rouge, Louisiana, bagging, sorting, and boxing 15,265 lentil casserole meals to feed families and children right here in Northeast Louisiana. Each meal included wholesome, natural ingredients, including rice donated by KenChaux. Meals will be distributed through the The Food Bank of Northeast Louisiana.
