Feed My Starving Children — Local services in Coon Rapids

I was very impressed by this place. Not only because of what they are doing for people across the globe, but the way they bring you through the process from training, to getting you to understand the need that you're serving, to showing gratitude for you as a person and for what you're doing there that day.

When you enter the facility, you're immediately in the training area where they do a brief talk and show you a video. After washing your hands, you then move into the processing area where various stations are set up around the room. These starting to are well thought out to create efficiency and accuracy. Really, anyone could come and do this work

Many of the groups celebrate each box that they complete, which makes it even more exciting.

There are a few rules that you should check the website for pertaining to recent illnesses and bringing kids with to volunteer (which is fine, but for younger ones it needs to be 1 adult per 1 kid).

I will definitely be coming back here time...

This organization is close to my heart. I try and go whenever my schedule allows me to. This is an opportunity to serve locally and have an impact internationally and making a huge difference in the lives of children in different parts of the world. I just went a couple days ago and there wasn't as many people as I'm used to seeing and probably so because of covid, they've had to limit the number of people in each packing session.

Want to celebrate an occasion and feel good about it? Go here...
