This group of teens from Illinois biked 5 miles to volunteer at FMSC Libertyville together! 🚴♂️ During their session they packed 64,512 meals — enough to feed 177 kids a daily meal for a year. So impressed by their selfless day of service. We LOVE to see kids feeding kids! 💙 Pack with us this summer: fmsc.org/summer #volunteer #FMSCsummer #feedingkids

Rosa is an artisan with New Beginnings, a ministry of FMSC food partner Handfuls of Hope. She creates beautiful bracelets featuring the Larimar stone and loves to admire the final product. 🩵 Her employment has blessed her family. "This means we have a good meal on our table," she said. 🍚 Rosa's dream is to see her kids finish their studies and to someday have the resources to show the same generosity to others as has been shown to her. FMSC MarketPlace has so many rippling effects — funds for meals to provide relief in communities around the globe, living wages for artisans to support their family, doors opened to education, growth and new employment opportunities. ✨ Shop to be a part of this impact: fmscmarketplace.org #feedingkids #empoweringcommunities

There is widespread Emergency (IPC Phase 4) in #SouthSudan amid deteriorating economic conditions and high food prices. Additionally, almost 695,000 refugees from the #Sudan crisis, and close to two million internally displaced persons, continue to drive high humanitarian needs [📈 Famine Early Warning Systems Network]. In the first quarter of this year, FMSC delivered over 1.1 million meals to South Sudan to be used by partners responding to needs and providing relief. 📦 Each meal costs only 29¢, and over 90% of every donation we receive goes directly toward producing meals.

#HurricaneBeryl started an exceptionally early hurricane season, slamming through the Caribbean at the beginning of July. This was the earliest Category 5 hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic. ⚠️ Damage is particularly significant in #Jamaica and #Grenada. FMSC partners in the region are on the ground responding to the needs of those affected by the storm, many using MannaPack® meals to support their disaster response work. Fund more critical meals for this and other regions in crisis: fmsc.org/give [📸 Convoy of Hope] #feedingkids

Gladis lives in #Zambia. She does not have the strength to work outside her home and, as an elderly widow, the only family she can rely on is her daughter — a single mother. Resources are tight. While her daughter works as a maid to make ends meet, Gladis takes care of her two grandchildren. When Gladis received MannaPack® meals from FMSC food partner World Help, she said, “This is a big blessing to us. May God bless you abundantly for this great work. Please do not stop. Continue helping the poor.” Fund meals: fmsc.org/give #feedingkids #untilallarefed

Millions of children go to bed hungry every night. But Mary’s children don’t — not anymore. After her sister died, Mary* adopted all four orphaned children. With the five children she already had, Mary is raising nine children on one income. Mary and her family live in Kenya, where one of every four children under five have stunted growth from undernutrition. She works hard but struggles to pay school fees and rent while also putting food on the table. Some nights, the whole family went to bed hungry. When Mary began to receive MannaPack meals through FMSC partner Care for AIDS, she was overjoyed. “The MannaPack [meals] mean so much to my children and I! Now my children sleep with a full stomach.” Now that Mary can provide MannaPack meals for her children, she’s able to use the money she earns to pay her bills — she’s even saving up to start a business so she can break the cycle of poverty for her family. Mary has hope. Fund more lifechanging meals: fmsc.org/give #foodisthefoundation #feedingkids
