Feed My Starving Children

I signed up to have our family volunteer at a place called Feed My Starving Children. We dry packed meals made up of chicken, rice, vegetables, and soy. There were 52 volunteers that night. Asher is staying with us for a couple of days so it was fun to have him come along. At the end of the packing session we were able to pack enough meals to feed 6,000+ children. After the boxes are all packed up they say a prayer to help the food get to the children safely. The leaders asked if anyone would like to offer the prayer. Little Marley raised her hand and gave the most beautiful prayer. Of course I was crying. The kids each picked out a t-shirt. Marley wanted to make sure that she got a purple shirt which would pay enough money for a child to eat for a year. It was fun to do a service activity together tonight.
