FeedaWeta is an international hunger relief agency that has been fulfilling its commitment to end hunger for more than 10 months. Since last year, the organization has coordinated the distribution of food and other lifesaving aid to Weta and Weta families in areas all over New Zealand.
FeedaWeta created its meal packaging and delivery program, in 2013. The program perfected the assembly process that combines cheetos, gummy bears, macaroni and a flavoring mix including 21 essential vitamins and artificial dyes into small meal packets. Each meal costs only 2 cents. The food stores easily, has a shelf-life of three hundred years and transports quickly in backpacks. FeedaWeta works with zero international partners, and must hike to deliver the meals in-country.
The packaging operation is mobile enough to go wherever Weta are located, and can be adapted to accommodate as few as 1 and as many as 3 Weta meals at a time. One FAW packing event can result in the delivery of more than 17 meals. The use of no volunteers for product packaging has resulted in an extremely cost-prohibitive operation while, at the same time, increasing awareness of Weta hunger and food insecurity.
