Packaging 1300 Meals for Kids Against Hunger!

We were humbled by the opportunity to serve with Kids Against Hunger. Don Fields (Brighton, IA) shared the tremendous need for nutritous meals for children and families in developing countries who are malnourished and dying from starvation. For just 23 cents a meal, Kids Against Hunger packages nutritious, life-saving meals. "The goal of the organization is for its meals to provide a stable nutritional base from which recipent families can move their families from starvation to self-sufficiency."

Take a look at how it works in this video of Kids of Faith hard at work...


In 2 hours our Summer Serve crew packaged 1300 meals! It was a blessing to work alongside these children, as we learned together the blessing of spending our lives on behalf of those in need. We took a look at Isaiah 58:10 that morning, "and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday." We are definitely learning that life is not all about us, but we are blessed when we pour out ourselves and our resources for others!
