This Week's Mission
Feed My Starving Children

Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) believes hope starts with food. As a Christian nonprofit, FMSC is dedicated to seeing every child whole in body and spirit. FMSC works with food distribution partners that stay with communities for the long haul, empowering them to move from relief to development. Learn more 

**correction from Tuesday's blog:
Late Minnesota businessman Richard Proudfit was challenged by needs he saw while on a mission trip to Honduras in 1982. His heart was moved, "If you've seen my starving children, feed them."
