St. Theresa students help needy children

St. Theresa Church and School believes in helping those who need it.

The fifth-grade Religious Education class — and family members — packed food into bags at the Feed My Starving Children Schaumburg facility on Tuesday, Feb. 21. In an assembly-line format, they packed 2,744 fortified MannaPack Rice meals, which will be sent to Haiti to feed 35 children for a year.

St. Theresa has packed food with FMSC for several years for good reason. The organization uses 93 percent of all donations to feed our world’s hungriest. Founded in 1987, Feed My Starving Children is a Christian hunger relief charity that distributes nutritionally complete meals in nearly 70 countries (including the United States). The meals — just 24-cents each — are funded by donors and packed by volunteers. FMSC has maintained the highest four-star rating from Charity Navigator for seven consecutive years.
