Feed My Starving Children is an organization that brings together volunteers to pack food packages to be sent to starving children around the world. Our group volunteered this evening for an hour and a half at their permanent packing facility in Schaumburg, IL.
New friends + photo bombs = good times.
Rich was on label duty for the evening.
Bag sealer extraordinaire Deb and packing expert Will made up one fine team.
Angela and Lucas danced and sang while they packed lots of meals together.
Eli and Lucas did their very best to keep Jan in line.

The FMSC organization runs like a well oiled machine.
Carl's job was to ensure that each bag weighted between 380-400 grams.
Damon filled up soy for teams that were running low.
The stories of how Manna Pack Rice has changed lives of children around the world are incredibly powerful.
Volunteers from all sorts of churches and organizations gathered around the filled boxes of food at the very end for a prayer of thanksgiving and blessing before the food was shipped to Peru.
Our team, along with many other volunteers, packaged enough meals tonight to feed 32 kids for an entire year. Who knew wearing hairnets could be so much fun?
