Charity of the month: Feed the children – It’s who we are. It’s what we do

What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. -Matthew 18:12-14 ESV

So recently I came across this charity called “Feed the Children” which is a Christian international nonprofit relief organization that has been around since 1979. They help out getting food, clothing, medicine, and necessities to children and families who aren’t as lucky or stricken by famine, war, poverty or natural disasters. They receive supplies and money from big corporations as well as churches and individuals to help assist in over 119 countries. I think this is a great charity with many programs and that anyone can contribute even if its just a little bit, from donating an old vehicle to sponsoring a child or even go on a mission to go help rebuild communities or provide services. You can even start your own special project fundraiser! So please…go out and help make a difference in the lives of the young innocent and helpless victims of hunger and poverty that is….the children.

  2. Jesus nice post! I sometimes don't always take into consideration that the USA is a wealthy conuntry and that there are places where people by the masses live in poverty. This is a reminder to not take things for granted, and to donate and help others. Thanks =]
