On May 17, 2018, volunteers from ITS Arizona participated in a service event with Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) in Mesa, Arizona. FMSC is a non-profit organization that works to feed malnourished children in over 70 countries around the world. During our volunteering session, we hand-packed meals which consisted of rice, soy, vitamins, and dehydrated vegetables. These pouches of dry food were shipped to feed children in the Philippines. In a matter of only two hours, our session group was able to pack 31,752 meals, which will feed 86 children for an entire year!! In addition, ITS Arizona donated $500 to support the cost of future meal supplies. We are thankful to have this opportunity to volunteer together and make a meaningful contribution to others.
ITS Arizona is planning other service events to be held in the future, stay tuned for more information!
