"Following our time at FMSC, I heard a lot of great feedback from my coworkers. Not only did we get to help those starving kids, but that event also boosted our collective morale."
- Tyler Charles, FaithVisuals (part of Christianity Today International - full article available here)

“Our afternoon was both a fun team-building experience and an opportunity to donate our time and talents to your worthwhile cause. Under the guidance of your staff, we prepared a total of 8,640 meals and took away a feeling of pride in giving back to our community.”
- Joshua Moor, Best Buy

“I had a great time helping pack food. I was sad to learn that so many children are starving. It makes me appreciate my food even more. I was happy to learn that we helped so many.”
- Megan, child volunteer

“Every time I get my allowance, I put a little in my charity account.  Then I read the article about Feed My Starving Children.  At that moment, I decided to give my money to FMSC.  Enclosed is $55 – enough to feed a child for one year.”
- Adithya, child volunteer 

MobilePack^TM

“The mobile packing opportunity was a great way for the people of St. John's to show the love of Christ in the Chaska area.  The churches in the area bonded together and crossed denominational lines in order to become the body of Christ the way we say we are.  An overwhelming partnership with the community and it's leaders help to form new and lasting relationships.  In these uncertain economic times, it is these very relationships that God promises to bless and use in ministry as we share His compassion for His children.  What a blessing for the community of Chaska.  Thanks for allowing us to be a part of what God is doing in and through Feed My Starving Children.”
Pastor Greg Snow – St. John's Lutheran Church in Chaska

“Many of our volunteers hadn’t set foot in a church for a long time. We gave them an opportunity to come back and be a part of a church community, pulling together for the greater good. There is a renewed sense of gratitude to God for our community, our livelihoods and all the blessing He give us which we tend to take for granted. With that has come a sense of obligation to do our part to restore His perfect creation and to be a blessing to others.”
Janine Skinner – Esperanza Lutheran Church, Phoenix, AZ

“I think the spirit infused the church with unity and sense of purpose. Over and over we saw people of diverse backgrounds come together around the packing tables, sharing life together and talking about their relationships with God. God also used the event to draw people to Him; that rarely happens in the context of a regular worship service. The opportunity to be part of something that meets such a huge need was compelling for people and gave them an alternative model of what church can be.”
Mike Hotz – Christ Presbyterian Church, Edina, MN
