Feel Good !

I wanted to share with you all a 'FEEL GOOD" story ! This week I had the opportunity do something for someone I will need met or see or hear to talk to. It was a great and rewarding experience.

This week myself and some co -workers volunteered at Feed My Starving Children. It is a Christan non-profit that sends meals to kids across the globe that have no food to eat. Did you know 18,000 kids die each day around the world due to no food ? Heartbreaking. So for 2 hours we went and made bags of meal to send to these kids. This place gets no government money. It is strictly from donations. Just while we where there, our group and 2 other groups. Bagged over 12,000 meals to be sent out.

It was a good learning experience and it really made you think.

They showed a video for a woman here that had her child's Birthday party there. You can volunteer at any age. I think it was a good experience for me as well as children. To make them aware in this world of cell phones, video games, ipods, and the latest fashions. We could help someone that has no place to live or no food to eat. What a good thing to teach our young people these days. Not only to people others, to offer your time and services and expect nothing in return. But to appreciate all the wonder gifts that they are given each day.

If you want more info to call and offer your assistant to volunteer. Or simply to send them a donation. Please visit. www.fmsc.org.

The whole name again is Feed My starving Children.

There are 3 locations in the metro !

Have a good weekend. Stay warm and safe all.

Remember... Each day is a gift, not a given right !
