August 21, 2012 (Rancho San Diego) -- Church members from the Gathering @RSD packaged 3,200 meals to be sent to needy children and their families in the Dominican Republic. The church raised the money through collecting extra change. The effort was coordinated through the organization, Children of the Nations, which reach out to children in need in Africa and the Caribbean.

These nutritionally balanced, ready-to-cook meals consist of protein-packed lentils, spices (dehydrated vegetables), chicken (vitamin-enriched chicken-flavored vegan protein powder), and rice.  The meal packs, sealed in industrial-grade plastic bags, are waterproof and have a shelf life of seven years.
