Yesterday I had the privilege of volunteering at a non-profit organization called Feed My Starving Children. Located in Aurora, this organization fills food packages to send to third world countries to feed children who are suffering from starvation. Six girls, including myself, volunteered to be apart of this inspiring organization. In just two hours we (and the rest of the volunteers) packed enough food to feed 60 kids for a year. Not only was it rewarding emotionally and spiritually, but it was so much fun! At each station there was a bin of chicken flavor, dried vegetables, soy, and rice, a funnel, bags, a sealer machine, and a packing box. Each person is designated a job and together the packages are filled. There were people of all ages there--from the ten year old boy, Elijah, who worked next to me, to the 80 year old man who scooped the rice, anyone can do it. So today I challenge you to go out and help. Be apart of Feed My Starving Children. Or any organization at that... “Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the poor.” Proverbs 22:9.
