Prime Publishing Packs Meals at Feed My Starving Children
October 22 , 2018Northbrook, IL – On October 9th, 16 Prime Publishing employees volunteered at Feed My Starving Children in Libertyville, IL, packing over 20,000 meals for children living in Haiti. Our combined efforts filled 93 boxes and will feed 55 children for a year.
Founded in 1987, Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is a non-profit Christian organization wherein children and adults hand-pack meals specifically formulated for malnourished children living in 70 countries around the world. The meals are used in schools, orphanages, clinics, and feeding programs to break the cycle of poverty.
FMSC’s meals are a dry mix of varying ingredients that can include potato, soy, rice, vegetables, and vitamin and mineral vegetarian chicken flavoring mix. To pack a meal, a team of five fills and seals a bag assembly-line style.
Jessica Thelander, Premium Content and Book Editor, said “This was my first time volunteering at Feed My Starving Children, and it was such an eye-opening experience. When you’re privileged enough to live five minutes away from the grocery store with its endless array of cereals and fruits and pre-packaged meals, it’s easy to forget or turn a blind eye to the masses of people who consider themselves lucky to get one solid meal a day. It was humbling and gratifying to have the chance to give back and help out those who need it the most.”
Dana Byerwalter, Senior Content Editor, said “This was my third time doing Feed My Starving Children and it was a wonderful experience as always! Every time I volunteer there, I wonder why I don’t do it more often. It’s a lot of fun and a great way to make a big impact with just a couple hours of your time.”
Kristin Anderson, Senior Content Editor, said “This was my second time volunteering at FMSC, and I will definitely do it again. The staff there do a great job of explaining why the work is important, plus they know how to make the session fun. It was also a great team building activity!”
After the event, Dana McCarthy, staff member at Feed My Starving Children, expressed her appreciation for Prime Publishing’s efforts by saying “…your group [has] turned Hunger into Hope! FMSC is thankful for your packing. Your help is always needed.”
