Child hunger Prevention Program
Many children who rely on free and reduced price lunches during the school year go home to meager or no meals on weekends. The Shifa Clinic Child Hunger Prevention program works to fill that gap. We started the program with five children per month in 2014, and we now currently serve 100 children a month. We will be expanding the program to include more children depending on the funding and resources available.

Difference between Shelf Life and Expiration date
Shelf life is a period of time when a food product remains safe and suitable for consumption when properly stored at recommended conditions. This means that food should retain its desired quality and doesn’t lose its nutrients . This period is calculated since production, distribution, sale, and until finally stored in your kitchen.
