Student Athletes Help Feed 65 Kids for a Year

Submitted by Oswego School District 308

OSWEGO, IL — The Oswego High School (OHS) girls’ and boys’ bowling teams were joined by the gymnastics team this year for their annual Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) community service event.

Around 60 volunteers traveled to the Aurora FMSC location and helped hand-pack meals specially formulated for malnourished children. These meals are sent to partners around the world where they are used to operate orphanages, schools, clinics, and feeding programs to break the cycle of poverty. FMSC has reached more than 70 countries since opening in 1987.

The group from OHS helped pack 111 boxes in an hour and a half, which is 23,976 meals. This amount is enough to feed 65 kids for an entire year! The school is very proud of its Panthers for the sharing of their time to help out a great cause.
