2. Dream Dinners Franchisees Host Meal-
Packing Event to Help Fight Hunger
With nearly 805 million individuals of the 7.3 billion people in the
world suffering from chronic undernourishment, hunger continues to
be a global issue. Dream Dinners franchise of Redlands aimed to fight
this battle by hosting a meal-packing event aimed at providing meals to
underprivileged individuals and families locally and globally.
Dream Dinners franchisees Stephanie and Ray Carnes sponsored the
event in partnership with Friends and Family Connection who will ship
the meals comprising of rice, dried vegetable mix and protein, with
each packaged meal feeding up to six people.
3. “We are excited to be the first Dream Dinners
franchise outside of the San Diego market to help
end hunger in our community and abroad by
hosting our own meal-packing event,” said
the Dream Dinners franchisees.
The Dream Dinners franchisee’s ultimate goal of
the event was to pack and donate 50,000 meals
in just two hours with the help of volunteers and
donations from around the area. Over 100
volunteers of various ages attended the event and
worked together to package meals.
Striving to End World Hunger

pack and donate 50,000 meals in just two hours with the help of
volunteers and donations from around the area. Over 100
volunteers of various ages attended the event and worked together
to package meals.
“[I was] on the verge of tears most of the morning just to see this
many people from the community coming together, and when I
heard that we raised enough money to pack up to 50,000 meals for
the homeless, that’s pretty powerful. It’s pretty
humbling,” Stephanie Carnes said.
Reaching Their Goal
5. While most of the meals
that were packaged at the
event will be delivered to
Nepal to benefit those left
homeless and hungry from
the recent earthquake,
about one-quarter will be
donated to YouthHope, a
local organization aimed at
helping the homeless
youth of the Redlands area.
