I first worked with Feed the Children back in the last 80's after my husband was killed in a car accident. Doing volunteer work was how I got out of my depression. They were great then and they are great now. Currently, my husband and I run a non profit in the OKC area and FTC have helped us on numerous occasions. They have donated product to help fill the care packages we sent out to troops in harm's way. I recommend Feed the Children as an organization with a heart for helping others.

I run the national THP organization. I have met the Marine Dad who founded and runs this chapter and he is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Such dedication and drive. His love of troops shines through. He's a MARINE Dad but they don't just support Marines....they send boxes to all branches of service. One of our mottos is: If they are taking care of us, we're taking care of them!!! Thanks, Garon for your love of country and your hard work to take care of those in harm's way. YOU and your team of volunteers ROCK!!!

The Hugs Project is dedicated to making sure each and every member of our military feels the love and support from back home. If anyone has a loved one serving far from home during the holidays, you can send the address to: TheHugsProject(at)cox.net and they will receive a special care package as a thank you for their service.

I run a troop support group in the OKC area which has been helped by Feed The Children on several occasions. I also worked with Feed The Children as a volunteer many, many years ago. In both cases, my experiences have been nothing short of stellar. Feed The Children is a compassionate, caring organization of loving, dedicated people determined to meet the needs of the community....many communities. They have donated both money and goods to my agency, The Hugs Project, in order that we might help more military personnel both here and aboard. I have nothing but kind words for Feed The Children. We feel very blessed that they are home based in OKC.

I've worked with The Hugs Project for 7 1/2 years as a volunteer. We have no paid staff and our work space is donated. All donated funds go to help our troops.
We send care packages and cooling ties to troops. We love and appreciate all our troops and want them to know America has not forgotten them.

The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
visits from troops when they come to OKC. They make sure they come by to say "thanks". Sometimes they even work with us to make sure the support continues for those still in harm's way.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
make sure everyone knows how important support is to our troops.
