One of our favorite charities to support and serve is ‘Feed my Starving Children‘. Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding God’s children hungry in body and spirit. The approach is simple: children and adults hand-pack meals specifically formulated for malnourished children, and they ship the meals to nearly 70 countries around the world.
William Jessup University hosted the packing event this year and we participated. They run the even in multiple two hour sessions. A half hour is spent in training; about 1 hour 15 minutes packing; then about 15 minutes to wrap up and pray over the completed boxes.
This is probably one of the best organized events I experienced. It feeds my ‘type A’ brain.
Each bag (providing 6 meals for a child) contains:
- 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 flavoring to give growing children the critical nutritional elements they need.
4. Dehydrated vegetables for flavor and nutrition.

Sealing the filled bags…
A bunch of our friends were there. From our small group, the Clarks, Serroels, and Landons. Also, the Westhoffs, McGuires, and Gardeners. Here is Toni and one of her two daughters…
Friend Christie and her two girls!
Friend Katie and one of her two (not so) little guys…
Getting ready to pray over the boxes.
