Feed My Starving Children
Update
Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding God’s starving children hungry in body and spirit. The approach is simple: volunteers of all ages hand-pack meals designed specially for starving children, and FMSC ships the meals to more 50 countries around the world. While strongly reliant on the help of volunteers, it is important to note that 95 percent of all income goes directly to the food program. Each meal costs us only 15 cents to produce, and this makes feeding millions possible.

Feed My Starving Children was founded as a Christian nonprofit in 1987 through the efforts of a Minnesota businessman who felt called by God to help feed the starving children of the world during a humanitarian visit to Honduras. He returned to Minnesota to develop a method of large-scale relief. His efforts, energy and resources resulted in the development of a food mixture that would be easy and safe to transport, simple to make with only boiling water, and culturally acceptable worldwide. This basic formula of rice, high protein soy nuggets, vegetables, vitamins and flavoring is still used by FMSC today.

As many of you know, the FMSC location in our area has been working out of a temporary location as they awaited the completion and approval of their new site. FMSC was proud to announce that Chicagoland’s Feed My Starving Children permanent site is now open. Volunteers began packing food at Feed My Starving Children’s permanent facility at 555 Exchange Court in Aurora on Monday,
the 14 !

A Grand Opening Event will take place on Sunday, May 18, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at the new Aurora FMSC site (555 Exchange Court). This family-friendly event will consist of educational displays, activities, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 2:00 pm. Anyone interested in attending the Grand Opening should contact Laura Ostrovecky as we gather a group from St. Benedict.
Many have expressed an interest in volunteering as a group from St. Benedict one Saturday a month. Again, contact Laura so we can begin to formulate a plan. We need a group of at least 20 to sign up for a slot. In the meantime, our friends from Good Shepherd in Naperville will be helping out FMSC on Friday, May 9 from 7:30 -9:00 pm and on Saturday, June 14 from 2:00 - 4:00 pm. See Laura for more details!

Thank you for your continued support of this very important ministry!
