About this Article

It takes a lot of volunteers to help Feed My Starving Children in Aurora feed hungry children around the world. Last year, from their six locations in Illinois, Minnesota and Arizona, 515,000 volunteers, over half of them children, helped pack and ship food for starving and malnourished children in over 60 countries. “It's really amazing to think children are helping children,” said Development Advisor Denise Gallina of Naperville.
