 Introduction: How are we feeding the starving?

This study required two different subjects that in rare circumstance are one. One is the analysis of the starving, the challenge, and humanity’s effort to feed them. The second is how the work of feeding the poor affects those doing it. A multifarious approach, but I could find no way to separate them because in the end, we are searching for a positive gain and both views are benefits of the effort. It is as if the starving are fed and the rescuers get nourishment for their souls, giving them the energy to make the monumental effort again.

                      Writing brings me pleasure, and knowledge by weighing the issues that have plagued me a lifetime, or tell the stories I have always wished to tell. Researching this issue brought me peace from learning the fate of the starving rests in the hands of these organization and their armies of volunteers. Thank you!

                       Before we tackle the entrée, we will take a quick look at the rating services. They provide a way to understand who and how and how well contributors are considering.

Due diligence can begin to be satisfied with a visit to the two large rating services web sites. I believe some in-depth study of internet search engines for swindles or fraud associated with the donor’s perspective charity followed by a through reading of the organizations web site is prudent. With all things we do, our common sense should be able to provide a thumb down or up.

Charity Navigator (www.charitynavigator.org) Charity Navigator is America’s largest rating service by far with over 6 million searches annually. This incredible workload drives them constantly expanding their ability to analyze in depth the fiscal responsibility, and sincere ethical reporting of charities worldwide. Founded by a successful businessman spurred to invention by past charity frauds, Mr. Dugan strove to provide the ability for average citizen donors to rate perspective charities for free. In 2002, Charity Navigator began to provide this internet service and the debate began.

By typing the charity’s name into the sites search engine, I was in turn provided a very detailed analysis of the charity I am researching. The search engine is in the top portion of the first page and the remainder of the site tells about Charity Navigator and its history and metrics used to create a cohesive rating, assuredly, it is mathematics. The website is full of tips for donors and explanations of challenge of contributing to worthy causes and not becoming bamboozled. The three-page assessment covered every aspect of fiscal health and weighs ethical reporting of costs used by the analyzed charity. Use this one time and you will see what I mean.

Charity Navigator is a non-profit relying on donors who feel the service is invaluable and available directly by telephone at (201) 818-1288, or by mail at 139 Harristown Road, Suite 201, Glen Rock, N.J., 07452.

 The Charity Rater http://goodintents.org/the-charity-rater  provides another source for analyzing fiscal health and ethical reporting. The format is a ten-minute survey that relies on an open website. Inquiring donors answer the survey with the charity’s web site for reference and receive an aggregate study.

GuideStar http://www.guidestar.org/Home.aspx provides in-depth analysis at a premium $750.00 a year, but the product is sufficient for government grant applications. It also offers a free search using the steps outlined in an email from GuideStar Information Services-Info@GuideStar.org   GuideStar maintains an online database of nonprofit organizations in the U.S. You can use GuideStar to find the contact information for an organization, if available.

 *Counting volunteer labor as a donation, Feed My Starving Children spends 92% of total donations directly on the feeding and the food to do it.

The juggernaut food producer
Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) produces food, formulas, developed by food scientists to reverse and prevent malnutrition Feed My Starving Children. MobilePack^TM events allow people across the United States to pack life-giving meals. They have a rice-based meal and potato based meal scientifically produced for maximum nutrition. This charity is an expert on the plight and management of people starving. They provide self-subsistence programs that teach and supply the unique agricultural needs of the starving zone being managed. In 2012, more than 177,000 MobilePack volunteers packed over 41 million meals, with 204 events in over 30+ states.
Another avenue their product distributes is the six permanent packing stations. Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) has six permanent food-packing sites, and a nationwide MobilePack^TM program. They also donate food by a food-aid application available on their site.
Permanent Sites are in Coon Rapids, MN (corporate headquarters), Chanhassen, MN, Aurora, IL Libertyville, IL, Schaumburg, IL, Tempe; AZ. With all eight cylinders roaring, FMSC produced 163 million meals in 2012, of which 99.6% of meals arrived securely.

The meals are donated to missions and humanitarian organizations in 55+ countries, who distribute the food to those with critical need. On the website I gleamed this “Nutrition is philanthropy's best investment, yielding $30 for every $1 due to the education and self-reliance made possible by the healthy mental and physical development of children.”

In short, Feed My Starving Children provide the product, and distribute to charities local to the starving zone. Either at one of the permanent packing stations or at any organization who wish supply 500 volunteers to pack and enough capital to purchase 100,000 meals at 22 cents per meal. The organization uses the 500 volunteers to pack 100,000 meals in one, long day. They have to have enough structure to pack in under cover and a loading dock to receive the semi truck from Feed My Starving Children full of bulk food in boxes ready to pack.

Now we can look at the partners in this syndicate, an army of people feeding the world’s starving.

Burned babies are too frequent a sight, sometimes quite extensive. People often ask, "Why so many burns?" The answer is as complex, of course, as the culture. However, with open charcoal cooking, often on the ground, babies fall into the pots of boiling water, into the boiling rice, just into the charcoal itself sometimes. Accidents happen and where there are many people and many open fires, there are many burns.

"For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.

Then shall the righteous answer him saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger, invite you in or needing clothes, and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?

Children's Cup   http://www.childrenscup.org/

 The organization’s mission is to change the world for hurting and forgotten children by giving them hope in the love of Jesus Christ. By providing aid where war, natural disasters, and disease wreak havoc. These children know horrors most children will never know. Food, shelter, medicine, and education are not enough to heal their emotions. Many of the children suffer a childhood injury or preventable disease that steals any hope escaping poverty, and for some their lives. This is a vital step to achieve. Education is next in the process of developing each child. Many children we encounter in Africa have fallen behind in school tending for dying family members and unable to pay the school fees. Educating orphans helps them begin life with some tools to survive. Discipleship is one part of our effort where tremendous life transformation occurs. As children attend Bible clubs at the Care Points, they learn that God has a plan for them, and hope takes root in their lives. Once hope has taken root in their lives, we help the children turn their focus outward to helping and serving others. Leadership development helps them connect with their purpose to serve God and others and identify their unique talents.

Since its inception, Harvest Hands Ministries has sought to share God’s love by meeting the spiritual and physical needs of the hungry and oppressed people in the Juarez area. This has been done through feeding programs, a student sponsorship program, and the distribution of clothing, medical care, and personal items. In addition, HHM has supported local churches with Sunday school materials, pastoral support, and Vacation Bible School programs. Currently, HHM has completed construction of a children's shelter, Resplandor De Vida, which is a home to 24 needy and impoverished children. Work is underway on additional living facilities, which will double its capacity.

Healing Haiti is potentially eligible to be rated by Charity Navigator in the future. Imagine feeding your child a dirt cookie. There is a severe food shortage in Haiti. Many parents are not able to provide the basics of one meal a day for their children. To keep children from crying from hunger, they eat cookies made of dirt and vegetable oil to fill up and trick their tummies into feeling full... can you even imagine? 

Healing Haiti is providing emergency food relief to Haiti with Feed My Starving Children. Since 2008, Healing Haiti has delivered 682,000 meals, or 54 tons, to schools, orphanages, and families in need.

Upon completion of Grace Village, a Feeding Program will feed an additional 75-125 street child in Titanyen. Children attending school typically receive one meal a day at school, but children who live on the streets or whose families cannot afford to send them to school often times go hungry. Over 100 adults, children, family, and friends came to help Healing Haiti re-pack 273,000 meals donated from Feed My Starving Children into water buckets for Haiti. 

Most of these orphan children may not be adopted, but we have committed to equipping them to live a God centered life, one with significance. By caring, for their spiritual needs, their personal needs, educating them, and eventually teaching them a skill or trade, they will be able to be self-sufficient and provide for not only themselves but also their future family. Our goal is to elevate the next generation of Haitians leaders that will help build a better future for all.
