Celebration of Hope 08’

Tonight Brian and I spent some time volunteering with Feed My Starving Children. We packed meals that would help feed children in over 50 countries. It was a great and rewarding experience. Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) invites volunteers of all ages to hand-pack meals for starving children. You can even plan your child’s next birthday party there and teach your children the importance of giving, serving and having compassion for others.

Willow Creek Community Church has been our home church for many years now. Over the last several weeks, the churches focus was Celebration of Hope 08’ Hunger. We were given the opportunity to participate in a number of challenges. Limiting our consumption (LIST), packing meals for others and experiencing a fair trade market. During the Mother’s day service, we will be able to offer our savings from our limited consumption use to raise money to feed over 10,000 children in Zimbabwe.

If you would also like to be a part of this experience and make a onetime gift, you can do so by CLICKING HERE and going to the church website.
