Today, Brittany had a belated birthday party because we were out of town on her birthday.  Just like she did in the past, she wanted to have her party at “Feed My Starving Children.”  Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding starving children.  The approach is simple: children and adults hand-pack meals formulated specially for starving children, and the meals are shopped to nearly 70 countries around the world. 

This is one of Brittany’s favorite things to do.  She loves to see how many meals the group can pack!  There were 16 kids and 4 adults there and they had a blast!

Below are the statistics of  how much they did which is pretty amazing.  Doing this really makes you feel good inside.  We really admire Brittany for wanting to do this instead of having a party where it’s all about her.  She is really giving that way.

With the input of scientists from major food companies, the food forumula consists of:

   1.   Rice, the most widely accepted grain around the world.
   2.   Extruded soy nuggets, providing maximum protein at lowest cost.
   3.   Vitamins, minerals and a vegetarian chicken flavoring to give growing children the critical nutritional elements they need.
   4.   Dehydrated vegetables for flavor and nutrition.

The formula is packaged in small pouches—each of which provides six highly nutritious meals.  While the formula was designed to save the lives of severely malnourished and starving children, the ingredients also improve the health, growth and physical well-being of children who are no longer in immediate danger of starvation.

Way to go Brittany!
