Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) was founded in 1987 and currently work in nearly 70 countries to help feed the starving children of the world. A nutritional food product, developed by scientists specifically for Feed My Starving Children, is used for feeding children that are extremely
malnourished. This food product includes rice, soy, vegetables, a vegetarian-based chicken flavoring, with 20 vitamins and mineral mix.

The MobilePack events were created by FMSC to provide a cost-effective means of producing these specialized meals in large quantities. Working with volunteers with a desire to help alleviate world hunger in children, the MobilePack events provide an opportunity in local areas to pack and ready for shipment the meals destined to reach millions worldwide. The FMSC network of global non-profits and imbedded missionaries enables them to reach desperate communities in remote parts of the world by leveraging the partners’ in-country expertise.  These partnerships allow Feed My Starving Children to ensure that orphanages, schools and facilities for disabled children are provided hot, nutritious meals—and a ray of hope for the future. In 2011 Feed My Starving Children produced over 133 million meals with 6 permanent packing sites, a nationwide MobilePack program, and more than 565,000 volunteers.
