FEED MY STARVING CHILDREN

Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding God's children who are hungry in both body and spirit.  FMSC utilizes volunteers of all ages to hand-pack meals specifically formulated for malnourished children.  These meals are then sent to nearly 70 countries around the world.  Join others from Alleluia! at one of our monthly packs at the local FMSC site.

LOAVES & FISHES COMMUNITY SERVICES

Loaves & Fishes provides food and hope to residents of Naperville and DuPage County whose financial circumstances make it difficult to provide food for themselves and their families. They distribute over 60,000 pounds of groceries each week, and depend on a network of over 1000 volunteers to collect, sort, stock shelves, and assist clients. Loaves & Fishes also partners with local organizations to offer a holistic approach to meet the needs of those they serve offering services in areas such as nutrition, mental health, employment assistance and skills, financial and computer literacy, and language skills.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD Fill a shoebox with school supplies, hygiene items, and small toys that are then sent to children living in poverty throughout the world through Samaritan’s Purse. These children not only have a gift to open at Christmas but receive the Good News of Jesus birth. After worship during November pick up a brochure that has a tag and directions about packing the shoeboxes. This is a great project for individuals, families, and small groups alike.

ADVENT CONSPIRACY Advent Conspiracy is movement to counter the rampant consumerism that happens leading up to Christmas and encourages us to Worship Fully, Spend Less, Give More, and Love All. During the season of Advent, people can take tags off the Advent Conspiracy Giving Tree and donate Christmas gifts to children in foster care through LSSI, or give water filters or educational supplies to benefit people living in poverty through Compassion International. There are also tags to volunteer time in one of our missions. 

HARVEST SUNDAY takes place the weekend prior to Thanksgiving when we are encouraged to give thanks to God for our blessings by donating food and fin2ances to Loaves and Fishes.
