Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is a non-profit Christian organization based out of Coon Rapids that is committed to feeding God’s starving children hungry in body and spirit.The approach is simple: children and adults alike hand-pack meals designed specially for starving children. A single bag of food provides meals for six children. FMSC meals are then shipped and distributed in over 50 countries around the world through missionary partners at orphanages, schools, clinics, refugee camps and malnourishment centers.
In 2016, St. Joseph joined NW area churches to pack 1.78 million meals in five days as a part of a FMSC Mobile Pack. In 2017, 1.64 million meals were packed. In 2018, 1.2 million meals were packed. We exceeded our meal goal in 2019, packing 1.29 million meals!
Children ages 8 and up can pack; ages 6 and 7 will need a parent at their side. We will also collect non-perishable food items for our local food shelves, so this event will help feed children and families here at home and abroad. Come join us!
