Feed My Starving Children Volunteers Aim to Pack 2.5 Million Meals

FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) — Feed My Starving Children is back this week, trying to raise $480,000 for hungry kids.

More than 8,000 volunteers, most of them middle or high schoolers from West Fargo to Moorhead, come together to feed around 2 million children over four days. The goal is to pack 2.5 million meals. Each volunteer packs around $50 worth of food. That’s 216 meals, enough to feed a child for seven months.

“This year is special because after a year hiatus related to the COVD-19 pandemic. We are very excited to be back packing once again. There’s a few extra protocols. We know that, but we are still grateful to be back packing,” Organizer Amy Okeson said.
