In 2009, our community raised over $40,000, packed 229,608 meals and fed over 620 children in Haiti for a year!!

Join us in March of 2010, and let's see if we can exceed those 2009 numbers. Not only that - we hope to collect a literal ton of food products for local food pantries during the packing event.

2009 Packing Event a Huge Success! PDF Print E-mail

Feed My Starving Children Packing Event 2009Want to feed the world? Open a quart-sized plastic bag. Add a scoop of vitamin-fortified, chicken-flavored powder. Add dehydrated vegetables, a scoop of soy nuggets, and one of uncooked white rice. Seal the bag and send it overseas. You have just provided a balanced meal for a family of six or half a dozen schoolchildren in a poor country.

From April 1 to April 3, Hidden Valley’s auditorium rocked with activity as a hundred volunteers at a time packed hundreds of meals a minute. The food, purchased by local donations, was provided, along with equipment and professional supervision, by a mobile packing unit of Feed My Starving Children (FMSC), a Minnesota-based Christian relief ministry.
