You will hear us say this again and again: “We want to reach everyone, until ALL are fed.” We truly mean this. This means reaching the hard-to-reach people and places, the “least of these.” They will be found, and they will be fed.

With God’s help we will work together with organizations and ministries across the globe to end hunger."

Firsthand Experiences

I've volunteered at Feed My Starving Children a couple of times and I really enjoy the environment there. They make service fun. First, you walk into a room where members thank you for attending, relay the organization's message, and give you a brief training. Then, you choose from a couple different service options: packing food, labeling, or stocking.

Packing food has the majority of people. There are multiple stations and jobs at each station range from opening food bags, pouring food into them, weighing them, sealing them, and packaging them. It is fun to go with friends so you can talk while listening to music playing and packaging, however everyone at the station starts to work as a whole so going with friends is not necessary, you might make some while you are there!

Feed My Starving Children is very accomodating. For example, I went with my Grandma because I am under 18, and she cannot stand for that long, so the labeling option was perfect for her! They placed stickers on labels for the food bags and she had a great time, even made some friends while sitting!

Similarly, the stocking option is for more active people, as the majority of their service involves carrying heavy boxes, restocking food where it has run out.

At the end of the (usually 2 hour) service, members tell you how many bags you made and how many children are being fed with these meals (usually in the hundreds). There is an option to do a group prayer for the food, and then you are done!

I would recommend this service activity to anyone! It is really fun, a great environment, and the time passes by quickly.
