Feed My Starving Children

We have spent a few hours this weekend helping out with one of the most amazing programs that we have ever been a part of. Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is a Christian organization which packs meals (rice, soy, dehydrated veggies and vitamins) and send them overseas to impoverished countries. It's a slick operation which can handle hundreds of volunteers at once. There are two or three permanent sites in Minnesota and one traveling site (which is what we participated in). People from Desert Cross participated a few months ago and organized a FMSC stop here in Tempe. We had people from all over the valley come and participate (the ASU women's basketball team even showed up!).

Here are some figures which should help you get a grip on what we accomplished. In two hours we packed 50,926 meals. That is enough food to feed 140 kids for a whole year. It's also $8,700 worth of food. And it's all being sent to North Korea through missionaries! If you would like to find out more about FMSC, here's their website: www.fmsc.org
