Last night I did something fun and charitable. (Something I haven't done is quite some time, but have been meaning to do.) My Allocation group went to this organization called Feed My Starving Children. It's a Christian based non profit organization that packages food for starving children around the world. What we packaged was packed full of vitamens and minerals that kids need to be healthy. The meal formula was developed by food scientists specifically to meet the needs of severely malnourished children under the age of five. 1 packed bag serves 6 meals. And 1 meal is enough for one child a day. My group alone packaged 1440 meals in one hour. It was pretty amazing.
Mission statement: Dedicated to providing nourishing food to starving children throughout the world, and to providing volunteer opportunities for youth and adults. By providing life-sustaining food we give thousands of children an opportuity to live more meaningful lives.
