Feed My Starving Children

Tonight our troop participated in a fantastic charity called Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) in Aurora. FMSC developed a food product made from chicken flavoring, dehydrated vegetables, soy and rice, that when cooked with water, makes a nutritious meal for those in need around the world. The representative told us that they've shipped their food to 70 countries around the world so far this year! We're not sure where the food we packed will end up, but we know that the recipients will sincerely appreciate the food and the work and love the girls put in to packing it for them.

Our group, along with other volunteers that worked with us, packed 45 boxes of food (36 bags of food in each box), which will feed 27 children for an entire year! Our kids had a blast as they prepared empty bags, filled them with the four types of "food", weighed the bags and then packed the bags in cases. They took great pride in helping children in other countries that are much less fortunate than they are. We even got to sample the food after we were done. What a great night - giving back and having fun doing it. Fantastic job girls!
