Today we stopped by the Feed My Starving Children warehouse in Schaumburg, Illinois. Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding God's children who are hungry in body and spirit. Volunteers hand-pack meals specifically formulated for malnourished children. FMSC ships the meals to distribution partners and have reached nearly 70 countries around the world. For more information about Feed My Starving Children, visit

The students each helped in packing "Mana Packs" consisting of vitamin powder, veggies, soy, and rice. Just one bag can feed a child for an entire day. Today's Mana Packs are to be shipped out to Uganda. The students did a fantastic job in their various roles!
A table of finished Mana Packs!
Boxes of food ready to be shipped!
Our group packed a total of 64 boxes! This is enough food for 13,824 total meals!!
These meals are enough to feed 38 children for an entire year!!
The breakdown of the expenses shows that it costs only $0.22 a meal to feed a child. A donation of $80 could feed a child for an entire year!
