Feed My Starving Children Recap:

Thursday, December 9^th we had a great turnout for a new service event for SWE-MN.  11 SWE-MN members (including family/friends) met up at the Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) facility in Coon Rapids to pack meals to feed children in Zimbabwe (where this shipment of meals will be headed).  The night started out with networking and a happy hour at a nearby restaurant and ended with great camaraderie packing meals with a lot of other volunteers.  Our shift of volunteers packed over 80 boxes of food, enough to feed 18 children for an entire year! 

If you’ve never been to FMSC, it is a wonderful organization dedicated to feeding children and their families in some of the most destitute areas in the world.  I highly encourage everyone to get a group of friends or co-workers together sometime to volunteer at one of their facilities or mobile events.  It is super easy to sign-up (online!) and is only about an 1 ½ hour time commitment.  Check out their website for more information:  www.fmsc.org

We are planning to do another service event in the spring, so please forward on any ideas you have to Lynn or Nicole at membership@swe-mn.org
