Yesterday I got to volunteer at a really neat organization. It’s
a Christian organization that I had heard of before when I lived in Florida.
The name of the org is Feed My Starving Children.
They pack bags of food for malnourished children. The packs contain 400g of a
cup of rice, cup of soy, a scoop of veggies, and a scoop of vitamins in powder
form. One of the departments in our company arranged for us to go out there and
do a 2 hour shift. It was fantastic, we packed 105 boxes. It felt great to go
out there and take some time away from my work day and volunteer. Most importantly we did something
that will help someone else. Sometimes we get so caught up in our routines, our
busy lives that we forget that there are people out there that need help in all
sorts of way. I had such a positive experience that I plan to sign up again. I am thinking of organizing another
little group of co-workers to go for an evening shift?
“ Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the
poor.”
-Proverbs 22:9
