Feed My Starving Children

Today I spent a couple hours volunteering for Feed My Starving Children with my friend Mary.

It was a great opportunity to give back and for a small amount of my time, along with the time of several others, make a big impact for a lot of very hungry kids in Haiti.

Here's a bit about the organization from their website:

Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding God’s starving children hungry in body and spirit. The approach is simple: children and adults hand-pack meals formulated specially for starving children, and we ship the meals to nearly 70 countries around the world.

It's pretty amazing how a small bag with about four ingredients, chicken stock, vegetables, soy and rice, can help impoverished, malnourished children receive a healthy, nutritional meals they need.

One of the great joys of the volunteering was that I got to do it with a group of kids. That's part of what makes volunteering with Feed My Starving Children great-- it's a way that kids can volunteer and make a big impact, too.

I could really say a lot of great things about this organization, but I think it really speaks for itself. The volunteer list is apparently normally quite long, but to learn more about volunteer opportunities, go to their website.
