When she was three, Flavia’s stomach was swollen from malnutrition. Her parents weren’t in the picture, so Flavia was in the care of her aging grandmother.

When Flavia started receiving MannaPack® meals, the results were transformative.

She could laugh.

She could learn.

She could run.

Flavia grew up into a child who smiles easily, jumps rope and is engaged in class. She is still growing and thriving today with the continued help of FMSC food.

A year is 365 days. That’s 365 chances to grow. Our MannaPack® meals have the nutrients and calories needed for kids suffering from malnutrition to return to health. There are so many Flavias in the world that just need to be given the chance to grow.

You can help kids like Flavia dream big by providing the essential nutrition and stable food they need to succeed. This Christmas, your donation of $106 feeds one child a daily meal for an entire year and to say thank you, we want to gift you a heart ornament. These ornaments are handmade by artisans in Uganda and Eswatini to help brighten your tree and remind us that even as hunger rises, hope does, too.

Will you be the reason that a child survives and thrives this year?
