Noah's Kindness Project: Feed My Starving Children

Today 6,200 children across the world will die from hunger related causes.

You read that correctly.

According to Feed My Starving Children, by the end of THIS day more than 6,200 children across this world will DIE from hunger related causes.  

These statistics were startling to me as I read that statement.  So much so that I had to read it a few more times to comprehend just how many 6,200 children is.  Jarrett and I grew up in a  small town of less than 4,000 people, that's nearly double of our hometown EACH and EVERYDAY, of children who pass away all because they don't have enough food.  

We are lucky to be included in those who are fortunate enough to never have  to worry about where our next meal will come and as one of the lucky ones, we feel it is important that we try to do something to help. 

So that's why this year, one of the activities we've decided to participate in for Noah's Kindness Project is volunteering to pack bags of food to benefit the non-profit organization called Feed My Starving Children (FMSC)  Founded in 1987, FMSC is a Christian non-profit that  provides nutritionally complete meals specifically formulated for malnourished children.  Their process is pretty simple... Volunteers sign up to help pack meals, people donate money to help fund the meal ingredients and meals are donated to FMSC food partners around the world.  Kids are fed and LIVES ARE SAVED!

Here's a quick video, I encourage you to watch.  It is truly eye-opening to see how critical this organization is in saving lives and how they can benefit by our little bit of help.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

1) SIGN UP TO HELP US PACK MEALS: 

So  here is how we plan to help.  We have reserved a group volunteer shift for Saturday morning, October 7 from 9-11 a.m. in Mesa, AZ and we invite those who are available to join us for the Noah's Kindness  Project team.  If you are local and would like to be a part of our team to help pack meals, please sign up here.

2) DONATE TO HELP PURCHASE FOOD

If you are unable to help pack food, or are not local, but still feel called to participate in this act of kindness with  us, you can still help!  Because this group is a  non-profit and they have to purchase the ingredients for the meals, they ask for donations to help offset the cost of the food.  If you would like to donate to help provide meals, please visit their donation link here.  If you so choose, please check the box and mark that you are donating as a part of Noah's Kindness Project.  

3) or Do BOTH!

We hope you'll consider joining us for what will be a very moving and impactful experience.  Children who are 5 years or older are welcome to participate so bring your whole family if you'd like.  Please sign up today.  We need to submit our final group numbers in the next 2 weeks, so please sign up before September 15.

Thank you and until next time,

Angie and Jarrett
