It sounds like an impossible mission: find 2,400 people who will take an hour-and-a-half out of their day to help prepare 500,000 meals to send to Haiti, over a three-day period in April. Whatâ??s more, each volunteer is being asked to donate $25 to help pay for the food for survivors of the Jan. 12 earthquake that hit the poverty-stricken nation. In the past six weeks, a committee of nine has been created to steer the event, and more than half a dozen businesses already have committed to make contributions.ATo get the volunteers, committee members are contacting friends, posting information on Facebook and spreading the word on the UW-Madison campus.
