As you know, my children are so important to me, and when I hear of a cause that helps and supports children, I get behind it. Feed the Children is one such organization. They provide physical, spiritual, educational, psychological, economic and medical assistance as well as other necessary aid to children, families, and others in need in the United States and internationally.

In 1979 Feed The Children was founded by Larry Jones who realized the need for such an organization while on a trip in Haiti. It was there that he witnessed so many people suffering from needless hunger.

Today his idea has developed into one of the world's largest private supply organizations dedicated to feeding hungry people. More than 67 percent of the millions of pounds of food and supplies they receive each year is distributed directly in all 50 states. Internationally they provide clothing, medical assistance and educational opportunities to underprivileged children in 75 nations around the world. Through schools, orphanages and church-related feeding programs, Feed The Children touched the lives of 33,000 children overseas.

One of the key goals of Feed the Children is to help needy families help themselves to move beyond relief assistance. Through long-term, self-help development programs funded by grants and by their Child Sponsorship partners, tens of thousands of families in foreign lands have increased their earning potential through new, marketable skills. Feed the Children truly makes a substantial difference!
