Turn Hunger into Hope at Feed My Starving Children

Thanks to the support of Libertyville and the surrounding communities, the dream of turning hunger into hope for many more of the world’s malnourished children has become a reality for hunger relief organization Feed My Starving Children. The new meal-packing site at 742 E. Park Ave. in Libertyville is now open!

The 18,000 square-foot facility, along with the existing Chicago area sites in Schaumburg and Aurora, will enable FMSC to provide more than 70 million meals annually to feed children in more than 70 countries. FMSC will also be able to welcome 300,000 area volunteers to join the effort each year.

Please sign up to volunteer in Libertyville, or at the other Chicago area sites in Schaumburg and Aurora. Families, church groups, school groups, companies and local organizations are welcome. Visit http://www.fmsc.org/volunteer to sign up!
