On Friday, June 16, 2023, my 3rd service project was volunteering at “Feed My Starving Children” in Eagan. I recruited a group of family and friends to participate with me to pack meals. The meals are sent to countries around the world where there is a great need for food for children. The afternoon volunteer session was full (over 100 volunteers) but our morning session was a very small group. That made it fun to see how many meals our small but mighty group could pack. We did very well packing 43 boxes and 9,288 meals. That will feed 25 kids a daily meal for a year! Our boxes were being shipped to Haiti. Due to recent earthquakes and Haiti being a very poor country, meals are extremely important nutrition for the children. With lively music playing, the atmosphere was upbeat. We worked fast as a team and had a great time. At the end of our session, we had the opportunity to say a group prayer over a large pallet of food boxes getting ready to be shipped. We prayed to bless the food to provide the needed nutrition for the children. And prayed for the food shipment to reach its destination. I look forward to volunteering again.
