Feed My Starving Children is a Christian non-profit organization that coordinates the packaging and distribution of food to people in developing nations. Founded in 1987, it says it has been involved in more than 70 countries.[1]
Founding
Richard Proudfit, a Minneapolis business man, founded the organization in 1987 after visiting Honduras after a hurricane and seeing food insecurity among children.
The organization recruits volunteers including school children to assist in packing. They also employ paid staff to supervise the operations.[2] FMSC has eight packing facilities: three in Minnesota (Coon Rapids, Eagan and Chanhassen), three in Illinois (Aurora, Libertyville and Schaumburg), one in Richardson, Texas, and one in Tempe, Arizona.[3]
