Life-changing impact
Gabriel was nearly 3 years old but weighed just 6 pounds — the size of a newborn. His grandmother, Imelda, was heartbroken, watching him grow weaker. She tried to make him comfortable, thinking he wouldn’t survive much longer. Then a friend told her about Feed My Starving Children MannaPack® meals.
After just a few months of eating these meals, Gabriel grew to 18 pounds! Today, he’s healthy and thriving — thanks to the grace of God and the meals packed by volunteers at Feed My Starving Children.
At Feed My Starving Children (FMSC), everyone has the potential to make a life-changing impact.
Volunteers ages 5 and up are welcome in the FMSC packing room to help send meals to hungry kids and families around the world.
Every year, millions of children die from preventable causes such as pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria and undernutrition. Hunger is still causing nearly half the deaths in children under 5 years old. From this data, it is estimated at least 6,200 children die each day from causes related to undernutrition. This is heartbreaking.
