Feed My Starving Children Volunteers to Help Typhoon Haiyan Survivors

Volunteers at Feed My Starving Children will be contributing to the relief efforts in the Philippines. 

Feed My Starving Children sites in Libertyville, Schaumburg and Aurora will be among the facilities whose volunteers will be packing 2.5 million meals to help the survivors of Typhoon Haiyan.

The MannaPack meals will be distributed by Risen Savior Missions, International Care Ministries and Convoy of Hope, according to a press release from Feed My Starving Children. 

"With three partners working in the Philippines every day, our food can quickly get where it's needed most when disaster strikes," Matt Muraski, Director of International Programs for Feed My Starving Children, said in the press release. "All three partners are mobilizing their meal inventories for this disaster, and two of them—Convoy of Hope and Risen Savior Missions—have asked us to ship at least nine additional cargo containers, or 2.5 million meals, as soon as possible."

"Not only is there an urgent need for short-term food relief, but also for long-term supplies as Filipinos rebuild their local food sources," said Muraski. "For months to come, Feed My Starving Children will need volunteer meal-packers and generous donors to meet increased need in the Philippines, while continuing to serve nearly 50 other nations where we have promised meals this year."
