Fiber Gel to help student meal
cause
MUNDELEIN - Fiber Gel Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of
Circle Group Holdings Inc. said Friday it has joined a campaign to help
feed latch-key children. The campaign, created by the Rev. George Clements
and his One Church-One Family organization, in partnership with McDonald's
Corp. and Fiber Gel, will help provide after-school meals and snacks to
latch-key kids in churches across the country. There are many programs
that supply needy children with school supplies, but few that give them a
nutritious meal before starting homework, Fiber Gel said. At the same
time, more kids are becoming overweight, so Fiber Gel will let the program
use the technology for its Z-trim, a corn-based fat replacement, at
minimal cost to create healthful, low-fat foods.
