VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) - Local churches, along with relief group "Stop Hunger Now" are on a simple, but important mission. They want to send hundreds of thousands of meals to Haiti.
On a warm day in January, there's only one thing better than being out doors.
"I think it's fantastic," said Jacque Camlet.
"It's just organized chaos," added Matthew Trojahn.
Inside Kings Grant Presbyterian Church, there was a method to the madness.
"We're packing individual bags," said volunteer Nancy Good.
There was also plenty of meaning.
"It's warm to see how much people care," said Haitian Native Wilminia Augustin.
It's an assembly line unlike any other.
"It's rewarding and it's needed," added Good.
Filling each bag and sealing it tight. Soon these instant meals will head to those who lost everything.
"We have so much and when that happens we have so many resources and they have nothing," Camlet added.
They are small gifts, but represent a big amount of love.
"There is hope and it is coming," Augustin added. "It takes a little time."
The mission was to make 225,000 meals. We're told they should arrive in Haiti next Tuesday.
