WHO IS FMSC?
Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is a non-profit Christian organization based in Minnesota 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 specifically for starving children. A single bag of food provides meals for 6 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.
SJCC FMSC PackingOver two shifts, 245 St. Joe's participants hand-packed 84,662 nutritious meals that will feed 231 starving people in third world countries for a year!!! That is more than 3 times what we packed in 2022 - WAY TO GO ST. JOE'S!!! SJCC also contributed $5000 along with your financial help to support the costs associated with this event!
