Tues Dec 2, Feed My Starving Children
Dinner 6pm/ Food Packing 7:15pm - 8:45pm
“Chicken * Veggies * Soy * Rice”We’re back, with this popular holiday giving opportunity to feed underserved children in the U.S. and around the world. Currently FMSC is focusing on the heavy needs in
the Gaza strip and Jamaica. Feed My Starving Children was founded as a nonprofit during a humanitarian visit to Honduras and now ships much needed food packets to over 90 countries and the
US. You’ll get to make meal packets (nutritional food packets containing rice, soy, veggies, chicken flavoring, vitamins and minerals) to be shipped out immediately! The results are
dramatic for these children. 20 spots have been reserved for our PSC family.
RSVP by emailing Dawn Roche – rockaroche3@gmail.com directly. Let’s all wear our PSC shirts (or a solid
blue shirt), and meet prior to grab a nibble together. Indicate if you are doing dinner prior, or just the food packing.
Dinner beforehand: Meet 6pm at Mission BBQ –376 S. Rt 59, Suite 144, Naperville. (near Rt 59 & Liberty) a veteran-owned place with yummy BBQ offerings Food Packing: 7:15pm at
