About Feed My Starving Children
By volunteering, donating, or fundraising, your generosity makes a huge difference in the lives of thousands of children in need around the world.
At least 6,200 children die each day from hunger-related causes (UNICEF).
Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is a Christian non-profit organization committed to feeding God’s starving children hungry in body and spirit.
The process is simple:
People just like you donate funds for the meal ingredients.
Volunteers hand-pack the meals.
Meals are donated to FMSC food partners around the world.
Kids are fed and lives are saved!
“The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.” – Proverbs 22:9
