"Feed My Starving Children" Volunteers Needed

Founded in 1987, Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit, Christian organization that is committed to feeding God's starving children hungry in body and spirit. Working with food scientists, FMSC developed MannaPack Rice which contains over 20 vitamins and minerals. Providing protein from extruded soy nuggets, these meals are inexpensive, easy to transport, contain no water or filler, and are prepared simply by boiling water. They provide everything a child needs to thrive, not just survive.

From November 17-20, Feed My Starving Children Make a Difference 2K11 will be packing 500,000 meals with the financial and physical help of local residents and organizations like Salem. Won't you help us purchase the ingredients and pack them for shipment around the world to the neediest of our neighbors? For just $0.24 per meal we can save and repurpose a human life!

Watch for the sign-up sheet in the narthex for the following dates:
Friday, November 18, 6:15-8:30pm
Sunday, November 20, 11:45am-2pm
The Suter Company
Bethany Road

We need three things from you to make this a reality:
*Consider a financial gift to the local effort for Feed My Starving Children
* Pray that hearts and minds will be opened to this opportunity
* Sign up to assist in packing

The local goal for 2011 is 700,000 meals! To pay for the meals, $168,000 is needed. To pack the meals, more than 3000 volunteers are needed.
