Feed My Starving Children- it's become a tradition now

Continuing with the food theme...

Last year we returned to Feed My Starving Children for a second time for  Noah's Kindness Project.  And just like the first time, we again had so much fun.  We were so thankful for all those who joined us for our group's efforts and in thinking about what to do this year, we felt called to go back again.

It is hard to describe the experience, simply put it is very humbling and moving.  Never before did I realize how many people in this world are dying from hunger.  Having food readily available is something I always take for granted.  Of the many concerning statistics they share, it is the one below that I find so concerning...

Today 6,200 children across the world will die from hunger related causes.

You read that correctly.

This makes me think of my children's elementary school and estimating that their school has approximately 1,000-1,200 students, it is so alarming that every day, this world will loose the equivalent of 5-6 elementary schools a day.  6,200 children.  How can this be?.  So sad and concerning.  Thankfully Feed My Starving Children is committed to doing something about this statistic to help lower those sad statistics and until those numbers keep inching closer to zero, we feel called to go back and help again.

Here are some pictures of our group volunteering last year during Noah's Kindness Project.  

The different packing stations.

   Their process is pretty simple... Volunteers sign up to help pack meals, people donate money to help fund the meal ingredients and meals are donated to FMSC food partners around the world.  Kids are fed and LIVES ARE SAVED!

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

1) SIGN UP TO HELP US PACK MEALS: 

So  here is how we plan to help.  We have reserved a group volunteer shift for Saturday afternoon from 2-4 p.m. in Mesa, AZ and we invite those who are available to join us for the Noah's Kindness  Project team.  If you are local and would like to be a part of our team to help pack meals, please sign up here.

2) DONATE TO HELP PURCHASE FOOD

If you are unable to help pack food, or are not local, but still feel called to participate in this act of kindness with  us, you can still help!  Because this group is a  non-profit and they have to purchase the ingredients for the meals, they ask for donations to help offset the cost of the food.  If you would like to donate to help provide meals, please visit their donation link here.  If you so choose, please check the box and mark that you are donating as a part of Noah's Kindness Project.  

3) or Do BOTH!

We hope you'll consider joining us for what will be a very moving and impactful experience.  Children who are 5 years or older are welcome to participate so bring your whole family if you'd like.  Please sign up today. 

Thank you and until next time,

Angie and Jarrett
