Feed My Starving Children
On Monday some of my friends and I went to Feed My Starving Children in Shaumburg. I have volunteered with this organization a few times before with my church and it has always been a lot of fun. What Feed My Starving Children does is they set up tables in a big room and on these tables there are four big bins, each filled with either chicken flavor powder, dehydrated vegetables, soy, or rice. Everyone at the table works together to scoop certain amounts of each ingredient into plastic bags. The bags are then sealed and packed into boxes. The food is then shipped to countries where there are starving children in need. One of my favorite parts about volunteering here was seeing how people who didn't really know each other until they got there, all work together for the same purpose, with compassion for children they have never met.

Aww, you definitely made someone a happy camper by taking time out of your day, to help pack food for the less fortunate. And I think my church may be a part of "feed my starving children" as well!
ReplyDeleteWhat was the time and date for your experience?
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome! I love the thought of helping kids. It warms my heart. I remember doing this in 8th grade for religious ed.
