Feed My Starving Children..

On Saturday, some friends and I volunteered for an organization called, Feed My Starving Children - a non-profit Christian organization that is dedicated to producing packaged meals for children, in effort to fight world hunger.
Our church small group has volunteered with them in the past and it was about time that I did it again!

We had such a good time with our group and we were able to produce 18,000 meals in just 1 1/2 hours; which feeds 50 children for one whole year! It's hard to believe that in such little time, you can help in such a huge way. I will continue to volunteer there and would encourage others to do so as well.

In the future, I want to instill in my children that volunteering is very important. I want them to know that we should be sharing the gifts that we have been blessed with on a constant basis. I was so sad to see those images of mal-nourished children on the FMSC DVD. It made me want to do everything I can in the future to help those in need.

Feed My Starving Children volunteer opportunity

On Wednesday we volunteered with our church small group at Feed My Starving Children. Its a Christian organization that sends meals to children in need all over the world with the help of many volunteers. The system is very cool actually. It is a non-profit organization that relies soley on its volunteers to pack individual meals and also donate monies to help minimize hunger in poor countries. It only take 17 cents to make one bag (which is 6 servings!) These meals are fortified with special nutrients to help children who are malnurished. Just to give you an idea of how much an hour of volunteering does; we had a group of 84 people from all over the city and we packed 11,000 bags of food! We were told that it provided meals for 31 children for a whole year! If you are ever interested in volunteering, this is a wonderful organization and it was so easy and lots of fun. www.feedmystarvingchildren.com
