James T. Elcock founded Kids Against Hunger, Metro St. Charles/St. Louis satellite to provide nutritionally rich food to fight hunger in the U.S. and abroad. This year Elcock has distributed 550,000 meals — locally through the St. Louis Food Bank, for disaster relief in the U.S. and Haiti and internationally to countries suffering from chronic hunger including Nicaragua and Uganda. Elcock has involved more than 3,000 volunteers in food packaging events, which are organized to assemble the unique rice-based recipe that costs 23 cents per serving.
