Feed My Starving Children - Volunteer Spotlight

There is nothing worse than knowing in the world we live in today there are little children starving. They do not want an iPhone, nor do they even ask for a new pair of jeans, these children ask for FOOD!

There are several ways you can support the mission of

Feed My Starving Children:

• Pray for the millions of starving children around the world and FMSC's abillity to serve them.
• Volunteer to package meals.
• Donate online (just 17 cents pays for one meal).
• Purchase FMSC merchandise at any of our sites.
• Bring items on our Wish List to any permanent packing site.

From its beginnings, Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) has worked to develop a food mixture that would be easy and safe to transport, simple to make with only boiling water, and culturally acceptable worldwide.
With the input of scientists from major food companies in the Twin Cities area—including Cargill and General Mills—FMSC developed a formula consisting of:
   1.   Rice, the most widely accepted grain around the world.
   2.   Extruded soy nuggets, providing maximum protein at lowest cost.
   3.   Vitamins, minerals and a vegetarian chicken flavoring to give growing children the critical nutritional elements they need.
   4.   Dehydrated vegetables for flavor and nutrition.
Packaged in small pouches—each of which provides six highly nutritious meals—this easy-to-prepare food blend has won rave reviews all over the world. While the formula was designed to save the lives of severely malnourished and starving children, the ingredients also improve the health, growth and physical well-being of children who are no longer in immediate danger of starvation. A team of food scientists continues to monitor the FMSC formula to ensure that it meets nutritional needs for the world’s hungry children.
A single bag of food—which provides meals for six children—costs around $1 to produce, and 94 percent of all donations to FMSC goes directly toward the food program.

Earth Day

APRIL 22nd IS EARTH DAY!!!

What a great way to "Give Your Time". Our family loves to go for hikes and I can honestly say there has not been one place that has been garbage free. Where ever you rome you will see trash. A great way to give back to our Earth is to adopt a park, sometimes this task can seem daunting but, the more you go to the park or forest preserve of your choice to pick up the trash that others leave behind the more we can see the difference.


HOW DO I START?

First set aside an hour of your time on April 22nd or any day that you can commit to,

Second see if your family friends and neighbors will want to join you on that day,
passing out flyers or e-vite's is a great way to spread the word about your fun and helpful event.

Third adopt a nearby area that needs trash picked up or an area that needs some sprucing up with flowers (Be sure to contact your local village to make sure plantings are safe for the area or are allowed)

Fourth - get supplies, you will need gloves, shovels, rakes, garbage bags, leaf bags, and plenty of water to keep yourselves hydrated.

This is a great project to do with your children it teaches them why it is important not to litter and also teaches them a great lesson about teamwork and what teamwork can accomplish.
