FEED MY STARVING CHILDREN
*MEAL-PACKING EVENT*
NOVEMBER 21 AND 22
AT GLEN ELLYN EVANGELICAL COVENANT CHURCH
Every year, millions of children die from preventable causes such as pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria and undernutrition. Hunger is still causing nearly half of deaths in children under 5 years old. This is heartbreaking.
Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) believes hope starts with food. As a Christian nonprofit, FMSC is dedicated to seeing every child whole in body and spirit.
FMSC’s process is simple. Donations given by people just like us fund the meal ingredients. Volunteers, just like us, hand-pack the meals. Meals are donated to FMSC food partners around the world, where kids are fed and lives are saved!
Like to be involved? Click here for more info and to register https://www.fmsc.org/volunteer-listing/?mobilepack=2511-189SC
Childcare will be provided for the Saturday 9am packing session. Please contact Elissa Schauer so that she can be efficient in arranging childcare.
