Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) offers volunteers a one-of-a-kind experience. We hand-packed rice, soy, dried vegetables and a nutritionally complete blend of vitamins and minerals into bags and then sealed, boxed, and placed on pallets. These meals are called MannaPack® and they are shipped to incredible partners around the world who are working hard to reach children in need.

Our Stats:
