Feed The Children, Inc.

I just briefly worked with Feed The Children. They have been so accommodating and helpful with my requests for many time accommodation. I have worked with children in the state of Oklahoma. Through Feed The Children, schools were furnished school suppies, snacks, gifts and many other items. Feed The Children made all of the projects I worked on very successful and spiritually inspirational.

I volunteered at the Bethlehem, PA location of Feed the Children and it was such a great experience. I felt like the time spent there packing boxes made such an impact and that all the work they do at their location was so important. All the people I met there were so much fun to work with and it was so obvious that they cared about the work they were doing. I absolutely recommend going to volunteer for a few hours and taking the time to ask some questions and learn about all of the other ways volunteers can be involved.

Feed the Children is an exceptional organization that has been able to make a significant impact in the lives of thousands of children by partnering intelligently with effective direct-service organizations in every part of the country that care for needy kids. As Chief Production Officer for one such organization (The River Fund New York) based in New York City’s largest borough, I have direct interaction with key operatives at Feed the Children on a regular basis.

The level of professionalism and expertise that these individuals bring to the table allows Feed the Children to define and implement the most effective use of available resources. As a team, Feed the Children develops smart programs to support direct-service organizations—and then aggressively goes into the market to find the appropriate corporate and foundation support to make those programs work.

Operating since 21 years, The River Fund New York has been a partner with Feed the Children for a long time and we have always enjoyed working with them. However, our appreciation for the organization grew even deeper with the tremendous support we received during the immediate aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. As the very first Emergency Food Program to get into the Flood Zones behind the storm, we at The River Fund needed all the help we could get. Feed the Children was quick to respond to some of the special needs of the situation: Not only did they make large quantities of food available, they also channeled substantial quantities of cleaning supplies to us—which were desperately needed for distribution to families whose homes were inundated by muddy flood waters.

Of course, our work in the Sandy Flood Zones continues—since thousands of families and seniors who were already struggling before the storm still require our ongoing support. Feed the Children continues to be an outstanding partner with us, and calls on us regularly with ideas and ways of assisting us to deliver more help to those in need. The relationship we have established with Feed the Children is a major source of encouragement to us as we continue in our Mission “to feed and empower those we serve to move beyond the lines of poverty.”

Thank you very much for the opportunity to endorse this outstanding organization.

We are a very small rural district and do not qualify for many services for our Homeless population. Feed the Children provided us with backpacks and supplies to help us support our students. We appreciate all that they do.

Feed the Children has helped the North Carolina Homeless Education Program provide backpacks, food, and books to children across North Carolina. The backpacks are distributed to school districts who then give them to their neediest children. This helps the school districts use their local resources for other needs. The local liaisons are very appreciative of this opportunity and are grateful to be able to serve the children in this way. The backpack distribution is always very popular. Feed the Children is great to work with. They are responsive to my questions and they are highly reliable.

We have been receiving donations from Feed The Children for the past 12 months and their generosity of giving to us has allowed us to be able to distribute items to other agencies that serve GOD's people.
Feed The Children is truly a Blessing to the people that are receiving these items because in our tri-state area the need is greater than ever before.
My prayer would be that Feed The Children will receive an increase in their donations so that more will be served because of them. My hat goes off to them for all that they do for the Glory of GOD.

Operatioon NOW

I have been involved with Feed the Children, Inc. through 2004, 2005, and 2006 Hurricanes in Florida and Mississippi. They were there with supplies and on the the ground help for the people in the disasters.
Cutting Edge Ministries is a participating partner with them and we receive supplies from them and in the event there is another disaster in Central Florida they are ready to respond with us here. Feed The Children coordinates and works well many many non-profit agencies to make sure children and families do not go hungry

Feed the Children play a vital role in partnering with Wings of Faith to help serve a “third world nation”, The Native American Indian. Because of the generous donations of goods we receive from Feed the Children we are better enabled to provide badly needed supplies to the impoverished Native Americans that live in remote high mountain desert areas of the Southwest. This wonderful organization donated school supplies that we handed out to very poor Native Children on the reservations. Without this wonderful giving these tiny scholars would have gone to school missing the barest essentials…notebook paper and binders. The Indian schools on the reservation also give special thanks for your support.

I can’t speak highly enough about the staff. The people that we work with at Feed the Children are joyfully committed, very helpful, and extremely well organized. I rate this organization five stars.

Feed the Children is a great asset to Wings of Faith. We are grateful for the generous giving and I look forward to continuing our partnership.

Feed the Children has been a tremendous resource to Genesee Intermediate School District in helping us meet the needs of our homeless students in Flint and Lapeer, Michigan. For the past two years, they have delivered well over a thousand backpacks loaded with supplies, books, hygiene products and food. We have shared these items with all of our school districts as well as several of our local homeless shelters. Very often, these would be the only new items these children would receive. The joy the backpacks and books have brought them is immeasurable. They have even provided books in Spanish for our ESL students.

I can’t speak highly enough of the staff at Feed the Children. They are incredibly caring individuals and are the reason I rate this organization five stars. No special requests have ever gone unanswered. I look forward to continuing our partnership with them in an effort to help our most needy children. Bravo!

I work for a large, national, faith-based not-for-profit food bank who receives regular donations from Feed The Children. One of their regular donations to us are boxes of miscellaneous non-food items. The agencies we serve love them and always anticipate opening the boxes to inspect the contents. One of the not-for-profit organizations that we support on the west side of Indianapolis received a box with an assortment of extra large gauze pads. The director of the pantry wasn't sure if she'd ever be able to "move" them out of the pantry but decided to place them on an "unlimited" table within the pantry. When they opened the doors for their pantry, the first client was a veteran in a wheelchair who had lost his leg in a war while serving our country. Due to a sore at the amputation site, he was unable to wear his prosthesis. He needed extra large gauze pads to place between the prosthesis and the amputation site - and there they were just for him just when he needed them. What a blessing for him and for the pantry workers to witness.

Feed The Children has partnered with ACTS Resource Center (ACTS Food Bank) to help us in feeding over 10,000 hungry people each month. In their years of blessings we have been able to provided food, vitamins, and other special needs. We were their charity pick in Denver this year for their annual “Americans Feeding Americans” Project in feeding over 400 needy families.

Since 1999 Feed The Children has partnered with World Blessing Foundation by providing food, vitamins and other items to impact nations in times of need. FTC is a great asset in the compassion ministry world.

Feed the Children deserves five stars for understanding the benefits of a partnership with the school district homeless liaisons to have a far reaching impact with limited resources. In 2013 alone, the truck delivered 232 boxes of books and 2,080 backpacks filled with basic need items and school supplies to Sacramento County. In addition, the school districts throughout the state receive boxes of supplies in the mail each year. When I began sponsoring a child in Ethiopia in 1980, I didn’t know that I would subsequently see so many children right in my own community benefit from the same organization. These humble, caring and dedicated people help us alleviate the pain of homelessness.

Feed The Children has been providing food, vitiams, and other househeld item to our church for a number of years. Our church has a large community outreach food program and wouldn't be able to feed the families in need without their generous donations. Feed the Children is a wonderful organization partnering with other to help end hunger.

Over the years Feed the Children has given Metro Kidz International truck loads of candy, chocolate, drinks, books, toys, cleaning supplies, baby items and more! We've been able to bless 1000s of inner-city children and their families with these items, which have also helped keep our ministry going! Thank you Feed the Children for your dedication to serving needy children and families all over the US and the world!

Thanks to fee the children we here at Jubilee Project, Inc. have been able to help families with cleaning supplies backpacks with school supplies and clean drinking water. So thank you Feed The Children for all you do. God Bless you.

Feed the children has been a great asset to our organization. They have allowed us to reach out and not only service the homeless at Making A Way Housing, but the underserved in the community. We collaborate with many different agencies, and feed the children ALWAYS responds to the clarion call consistently. We are blessed to have them assist us in helping the needy!

Feed The Children is a great organization that has been helping the Appalachian area and the Christian Appalachian Project Operation Sharing for over twenty years. They provide food, clothing, water, and various other needed supplies of all types that help the people of Appalachia. If it were not for the support of Feed The Children many children, families, and elderly people would go hungry each night in the Appalachian area. Also, Feed The Children is very supportive to the Appalachian area during times of disaster. Over the last ten years we have received numerous truckloads of water, food, and supplies to help the people to get back on their feet.
We are very thankful for Feed The Children and the work that they do to help the people of the Appalachian area and we are proud to be a partner with this top rated organization.

Great organization that provides support for our homeless families in North East ISD. We really appreciate the support and spirit of giving the organization provides us.

Feed the Children has been partnering with the Pennsylvania Department of Education through Feed the Children’s Homeless Education & Literacy Program since 2007. Feed the Children has distributed backpacks, children’s books, school supplies, and snack food components to Pennsylvania’s children experiencing homelessness since then.

Feed the Children delivered the first tractor-trailer load of backpacks, books, school supplies, and snack food components to Philadelphia. Since then, Feed the Children has been delivering backpacks, books, school supplies, and snack food components to Pittsburgh, Reading, Lancaster, Grove City, Erie, Indiana, State College, Allentown, and Bethlehem Pennsylvania.

The joy, happiness, and a sense of belonging, that a child experiencing homelessness gets by having his or her own backpack and school supplies, allows them to “fit in” and be on equal ground like their peers. Records show that more than 21,000 backpacks have been delivered to Pennsylvania’s children experiencing homelessness and we are currently working with school districts for a fall delivery as our partnership with Feed the Children will continue.

For years Feed The Children has contributed tremendously to the goals of Bethesda Mission's Outreach Ministry to alleviate hunger in the rural areas of Central Pennsylvania. Every month Bethesda Mission's Outreach Ministry distributes over 1,500 food bags to food pantries and churches in the neighboring counties of Harrisburg, PA, in addition to providing bulk food donations on an as needed basis to local non-profits that share our goals . The number of lives that our Outreach Ministry is able to touch would be significantly less without the constant grace and goodwill of the food donations we receive from Feed The Children. Their charity has not only helped to grow the number of people that we serve, but has helped us improve the quality and nutritional content of the food items that go into each of our bags. We are blessed to be in partnership with this organization.

I have a shelter located in South Central LA. Feed the Children has donated supplies and food to our organization (watchitgrow inc.) every month. South Central LA is has alot of people who are homeless, suffer from addiction and are low income. Feed the Children is a god sent to many who consider themselve as hopeless, so it excites us every week to give donations and see HOPE!

Feed The Children has allowed us to reach out not only to our local community but to the entire western half of Illinois. They supply us with good useable food and and non-food products that we distribute to over 200 agencies per month. With out their support we would fall way short of product and would not be able to help feed the thousands of people each month we service.

Feed the Children is such a blessing to so many individuals and families in their time of need.
We thank them for reaching out and making a differnce in so many communties. Bringing hope,
love....

feed The children has helped us with free food several times which has supported the economically challenged families in Dallas - Ft Worth. They ate great to work with!

Feed the children has been a tremendous asset to our organization. We have been blessed to receive goods that allow us to make sure that the clients we serve our afforded quality products and services. In an effort to serve our community, resources are often limited, but through th endeavors of Feed The Children, we have met our mark each time.

It is with great pride and admoration that I recall our largest event to date, in collaboration with Feed the Children, Essence of hope was able to feed 400 families. It was a landmark event for our community. People from off of the streets & other homeless situations, are still asking us about that day.

Kudos to a great partnership & an even greater organization!

Feed the Children has been a huge blessing to so many for years, but they have made a tremendous impact here in the Dallas / Fort Worth Area in so many ways! Their heart to serve and to give is second to none, but their collaboration is priceless. We have had the privilge to not only work with them on projects that bring resources to our community, but to see the team work and collaboration between corporate America, other non-profits and our faith-based community is inspiring and challenging. To be as large as they are, but to understand that it takes a "village" to meet the needs of the village is strategic. It comes down to people, serving people and meeting needs. Whether procurement, logistics, distribution or loving on people, its all about people. Feed the Childen has blessed and modeled servant leadership to the Fortune 500 and to the least of these.

Feed the Children, Inc. has helped our non-profit in the past, which in turn, helped to provide needed items and food to the needy in our community. Whether you are speaker with an office worker or someone on the shipping dock, they show professionalism, provide great customer service, and answer any questions quickly. They are a real blessing.

Feed the children continues to resource our ministry to the underprivileged at Wiley Post Park in downtown Oklahoma City where we serve a hot meal each week to approximately 80 to 100 people. I have also seen how Feed the Children has responded to the tornado relief. I appreciate their partnership with other agencies including our church to provide resources for the people who have suffered so much.

Over the past 3 years Feed the Children has provided food assistance to well over 2700 needed families in Northeast Florida. Often time’s families come to our agency activities where we provide a light snack. The sad thing is that we know that snack for some is the only meal they have had or will have for that day. Feed The Children has given so very many families in our area needed food to smile about. Families that are homeless living in their cars, mothers pregnant with other children and no way to feed them, children that are grateful to know that they will eat when they see the beautiful red Feed The Children semi truck parked to give them needed food. Our agency is truly grateful for the partnership with Feed the Children. It has been one of the greatest partnerships that have provided so much for the families in need in our community.
Thank You Feed The Children -- Thank YOU!

Feed The Children has provided school supplies, backpacks and books to our school district's McKinney Project which serves children and their families who have experienced a loss of housing. Parents have commented that the items have been of great help to them as they struggle financially. Our program is able to assist more students through the support of Feed The Children. Items are distributed along with other resource information to families directly or they are sent to school Social Workers or Counselors and/or shelters. Feed The Children has been a welcomed and terrific partner.

Feed the children is an incredible program. It has done so much for our children at school. It is not as simple as giving children the essential materials to be successful at school but the overall concept of support to children extends to us being a catalyst for change in a child's life. Change that could help save children and guide them to future success. We are very grateful to have the continued support of Feed The Children.

feed the children is a very helpful organization , they helped our ministry Over the years in helping so many others with product which is very useful . Time and time again they have provided to help us in our efforts hear locally, to feed and and cloth those who really need it. Thank you feed the children team .

I work for Washita Valley CAC Head Start and Feed The Children has been so generous with donations that we are able to help 536 low income families in Grady and Caddo Counties. It is so wonderful to have an organization like Feed The Children that reaches out to so many different places. With the donations from Feed The Children we have been able to help our families with items that they cannot get with food stamps and we have also been able to give them extra food to help get them through. Thank you for helping us help our families.

CONCERNED CITIZENS OF LOGAN COUNTY HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED OVER 15 YEARS. WE HAVE BEEN CONNECTED TO FEED THE CHILDREN MABY A YEAR OR LESS. THIS ORGANAZATION HAS HELPED US
MAKE A DIFFERENCE AS WE HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED. OUR COMMUNITY IS HURTING. WHEN THEY HEAR WE ARE RECEIVING SOMETHING FROM FEED THE CHILDREN, IT IS LIKE SANTA CLAUSE IS COMING TO TOWN. THIS IS A WONDERFUL ORGANAZATION. NOT ONLY HAVE THEY FEED OUR COMMUNITY, THEY ALSO PUT NEW SHOES ON OUR YOUTH AND PEOPLE WHO COULD NOT AFFORD THEM. I THINK GOD FOR THEM EACH AND EVERY DAY. IT IS A PRAYER THAT HAS BEEN ANSWERED FROM GOD. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN ABLE TO HELP OTHER FOOD BANKS IN OUR AREA. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HELP OUR AFTER-SCHOOL
TUTORIAL PROGRAM WITH NEW DESK THAT WE COULD NOT AFFORD AND SUPPLIES. GOD IS GOOD.

Feed the Children has consistently supported our Hands of Compassion Outreach in Dallas, Tx over the years. We support our local community once a month free of charge with donations provided. We have a food pantry were we are supported by donations only. We are in a low income neighborhood. We support all ages with our donations from the youngest to the elderly living on fixed incomes. 100% of all donations are given out. We do not ask for any information from those in need. Dayspring MInistries is proud to be connected with an organization that gives back.

The Belvidere/Boone County Food Pantry and Resource Center has been blessed for many years by the generous giving spirit of the Feed The Children agency. Whenever we have no where else to go for food and non-food assistance, they have been there for us. The 2,000 clients that we serve each month find hope at our facility and much of that hope comes from Feed The Children, Inc.

Feed the Children is a remarkable non-profit that has helped the Fort Worth HOPE Center many times with incredible donations so that we can give out food and supplies in the low-income community of Fort Worth. We have been one of their partner agencies for many years and they have a staff truly that is so efficient and caring for people in need. They have a wonderful network that helps move product to the most needed areas. For example we have received 10 to 20 pallets of yogurt on several occasions and have been able to distribute it throughout the community to thousands of children who need this nutritious product and is such a treat for them to receive. We receive cleaning supplies and wonderful fruit and meat and vegetables. They have been very generous with treats for the kids by supplying a wide variety of candy for the holidays. They also have special boxes of canned items and cleaning supplies that has been such a blessing to our people. What a blessing they are...and it is always a joy to work with them.

Feed the Children is an incredible organization. For many years I have relied on them to provide food and school supplies for our needy, homeless students. As a school social worker with little time to spare, it is wonderful to have an organized, consistent, professional organization to work with that provides quality donations to lower income/homeless children. They are terrific!

I've worked with Feed The Children for a lot of years and they are (simply put) TOP NOTCH, Professional, caring and dedicated to helping people. I don't know what else you could desire in a non profit. I recommend them highly.

The school district I work for has been a recipient of the organization's goods for the past several years. The school supplies, backpacks, food bags and books have been a remarkable assistance to the children in our district who live in homeless situations. This delivery is anxiously awaited for distribution to our students. THANK YOU FEED THE CHILDREN.

Feed the Children has helped our Milwaukee Schools provide greatly needed schools supplies, books, back packs, snacks and hygeine items to our homeless and highly mobile students. FTC is always looking for ways to help low income students achieve in school and to assist whenever a new need arises. Families without stable housing have a lot of difficulty accessing basic needs. We appreciate FTC's willingness to give as an organization but also as individuals. Janis Shogren, Homeless Program Coordinator, Milwaukee Public Schools.

Feed the Children has been such a blessing to our ministry. On a number of occasions we have partnered with churches and given away the pre-boxed food and toiletry items. Feed The Children has always been wonderful to work with. This ministry enables us to carry out our mission in our hometown.

Feed the Children has been an extremely valuable resource to The River Fund New York in fulfilling our Mission “to feed and empower those we serve to move beyond the lines of poverty.”

Operating for the past 21 years, our small volunteer-based organization has been fighting hunger in dozens of New York City communities via our Client Choice Food Pantry and Mobile Programs. Going beyond Emergency Food Assistance and Hunger Relief, we help needy families with children and seniors through Nutritional Education, Income Support and a wide range of Benefits-Access Outreach services.

Of the more than 140,000 beneficiaries we serve annually, at least 40% are children—a key focus-demographic of our organization. As such the support we receive from Feed the Children is extremely valuable and completely “on point.”

In the aftermath of the recent superstorm “Sandy” that ravaged several areas of Queens and Brooklyn, The River Fund New York was, in many instances, the very FIRST food provider to get into the areas hardest hit by Sandy—setting up in minutes and serving substantial quantities of ready-to-eat foods to the residents. We were so well-equipped to handle this situation because for 18 of our 21 years of service, The River Fund New York has been operating the ONLY mobile pantry program in New York City, taking care of extremely needy families in New York’s most desperate communities—which gives us quite a depth of experience and well-practiced teams.

Coordinating with Members of Congress and other officials with access to the best and most up-to-date information, within 36 hours of the storm, we were first on the ground. In addition to being there first, we also recognized the importance of bringing in baby supplies to the people in these hard-hit locations. This included diapers, infant formula (of all kinds and for every age), baby bottles, special vitamins for pregnant and lactating mothers and children vitamins. We took care of more than 10,000 families in this way (of which some 34% had small children).

In this hour of need, Feed the Children rose to the challenge of helping us replenish substantial quantities of critically-needed items—24 pallets of material ranging from baby food and diapers to Clorox bleach and other cleaning supplies that were absolutely vital in the post-Sandy clean-up effort.

Our partnership with Feed the Children continues to make an enormous difference in the lives of New York’s most needy.

My name is CB Beckwith. I have been the Vendor and Transportation Coordinator for Riverwalk Food Ministry located in Texas for the past 18 years. We have been with Feed the Chrildren, Inc, (FTC) for 18 years and have grown with them. Very sad to have to say our food ministry has just closed November 30, 2012 due to fininacial issues, but, I wanted to share how mportant FTC has been to the growth of this ministry. We have a food distribution every Tuesday morning that feeds approxumately 250 to 300 families weekly, (approxmately 50,000 annually). Without FTC we could not have continued to grow and feed the amount of people we have fed. Whether it is food, clothes, medical items, drinks, sheets, toys, coats and mittens we have always had a large crowd of people who need these items. The staff of FTC is very friendly, courteous and helpful and will assist you with whatever needs you have. As soon as they educate or train, If you will, us as the client how to handle all the paperwork getting it back to them in a timely manner certainly helps everyone invovled to get the job done. I have enjoyed working with FTC and wish them continued growth and success in doing the Lord's work in feeding the children. Thank you.

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.

Feed the Children has been a wonderful resource for our organization. Our Storehouse ministry distributes food to the north orange county community. Feed the children has enabled us to provide food and goods to single mothers, homeless and working poor. We deeply appreciate this organizations help in our mission to provide for those in need.

Feed the Children provides food, medical supplies, books, and household supplies at no cost to our Food Pantry to help our region's most desperate families. We are truly blessed to be associated with them and are grateful for all they do.

My name is Alma L. Martinez, and I am the President and Founder of Amigos Sin Barreras/Friends Without Barriers, a non-profit organization serving persons living with HIV/AIDS.

Feed the childrens is a great support for our program and with their help we can help the most needy in our city, thank you for your great help and support.

Feed The Children is an outstanding non profit organization that helps other organization like us to grow. Through their generous donations of food and numerous gift in kinds we were able to upgrade from ordinary food pantry to a major free food distributor to other food pantries and other organization that cater for the needy in New Jersey and New York . Everyday I pray for them. My God will continue to bless FTC and their workers and prosper them as they continue to help other organization grow from minimum to maximum in Jesus name.

Feed the Children has been such a help to our organization for the homeless in Florida. They connect us with local food donations that help us serve more families in our region. We have also had amazing one-day distributions thanks to the Feed the Children Truck Deliveries.

Feed The Children has done a fantastic job in the area of alleviating hunger among the working poor.

The Feed the Children staff is very nice to work with. The items that we have received from them has helped the families of this non-profit organization and the community. We are able to reach out beyond these walls and feed people, clothed them, meet their needs and spread the sincere goodness of the organization. With the partnership we have with Feed the Children we are blessed and are being a blessing throughout this city. Mothers have actually cried as they came to pickup boxes of food, clothing and school supplies that they would not otherwise be able to get on their own. Grateful is the greatest expression that I can describe.

With the support of Feed the Children, my non-profit charity has been blessed with helping thousands of famiies during the recent economic distress. We've been to feed and supply famiies with clothing, household items, school supplies and much more. Because of their support, my agency is able to continue helping those in need. I am extemely thankful for a being a part of Feed the Children.

last information on salaries paid is 2009 with the Jones Family who started this organization and were outsted by the current leaders .......how much are these people getting? Other organizations are up to 2011 but they list 2 men on opening page and not in the rest. Makes me wonder why it still has 5 stars if all the current info is not there. Never heard why the board kicked the family out but doesn't make me trust this gang running this organization now. Doing good deeds? what is the real facts? They seem to be riding on Jones info and makes me wonder the truth. Lots of good organizations that need support and for me this is too much not known about this bunch.

Secondly, I have the pleasure of knowing Feed The Children. They have been so generous to our program, enabling us to make life just a littel more humane for those who fell through the cracks of society. We have been blessed.

Lives are changed not only for our clients, but, for each of us who volunteer. Thank you Feed the chilldren, we appreciate all you do and look forward to many more years of service with you .

My name is Lee Younce, Director of Operation: Feed-A-Child in Marion, NC. We have partnered with Feed The Children for several years and I have found Feed the Children to be one of the top charities in the USA. They are always willing to go the extra mile for their partner agencies and run a very smooth and efficient operation at all times. One of the facts I have discovered over the years is that every employee at Feed the Children really "care" about those in need. I also love the fact that they maintain an effective oversite as to where their food is distributed making sure it is indeed put into the hands of those in need. Professional, very caring, above board, and super efficient are the words I use to describe Feed the Children. One would need to search far and wide to find a better organization to donate to.

My name is William Collins. I have been a volunteer of Praise Unlimited for over 5 years. It is truly a blessing to help this organization distribute valuable goods to the community. The clients are so grateful. This organization would not have existed without the help of Feed the Children. They aways provide items not only for children but for their families as well. Items like school supplies, snacks, etc are always needed in our community. Thanks so much Feed The Children. Pleae keep donating to our community. William

My name is Steph Wood and I am the Business Manager at Cover 3 Foundation. We are a partner agency of Feed the Children. Since we became partners with Feed the Children, they have been providing us with donated food and other goods for our C3's Kid's Meal Program and to help serve the thousands of children we serve daily. Feed the Children is a god-send to our organization. We absolutely could not make as big an impact without their assistance. We are eternally grateful.

We have been partners with Feed The Children for over 8 years. As the Senior Pastor of Chapel of Peace, Inc. in the Middle Tennessee area, I cannot imagine doing ministry without the assistance that we have received from FTC. We've been able to reach needy families and helped feed children within our neighborhood that couldn't do without the help of the faith community. Feed The Children has filled that role through the church community here in Nashville, Tennessee. We are so richly blessed to have you on our side, the FTC team. Our church team continues to keep you in our daily prayers.

I serve with an organization that was able to receive a couple of truck loads from FTC. It never ceases to amaze me the need in our area. We never have any left over on the scheduled days we distribute. Without organizations like FTC that provide quality supplies (especially food) many in our area would go without.

I am the Director of Missions for Nu Way Operation Bhild. We have been partners with Feed the Children for 5 years. We are a non-profit faith based organization. Feed the Children is so valuable to us and our mission. We provide food, clothing, shoes, bedding, toys, personal care items and much more to the poor, unemployeed, homeless, low income, needy families and individuals who are less fortunate and without in these challenging times. We are so very thankful to Feed the Children for all of their assistance in helping us to meet the needs of the people . We greatly appreciated all of your support. God Bless!

My name is Roberto. I am pastor of Faith and Hope Ministry, Inc in New Era, Michigan. We are a ministry that delivers food directly to the needy in a three county area. In the pasr three years we have only received one shipment from FTC. This shipment consisted of a large number of books and shoes but very little food. The cost to us for this shipment was higher than the value of the food. Since then, even though I have met with or spoken to FTC people and dicussed our program, each time they have offered us anything it consists of items that will not help feed or provide the needs of those we serve. But, we continue to wait and hope that FTC will find the way to help us help those who are in real need in these areas.

I Rev. Nicolas Homicil Founder and Director of Tabernacle Multi Service Center here in Mattapan Massachusetts I am grateful to Feed the Children for their help and support by providing food, water, books and many more , that we distributed to our community here at Boston area. Many times the supply came just on very critical moment. Our thanks goes to Feed the Children and the Donors and all the staff of this great Agency who doing excellent Job .God bless you this is a great Humanitarian Ministry and lives saver

Our organization has been working with Feed the Children for over 3 years now and I must say that they are truly a blessing from God. We have been able to help thousands of families with the goods that Feed The Children has provided our organization. We pray that God will continue to bless Vendors to contribute to Feed the Children so many more lives can be changed and enriched from our efforts together.

I have worked in partnership with Feed The Children for over 20 years. I am the CEO of Arkansas Rice Depot,, a statewide, faith-based free foodbank serving the state of Arkansas. When we are low on food, I call Feed The Children. When disasters such as tornadoes hit Arkansas and the need is greater than we can meet, I call Feed The Children. As a Christian organization, we believe in the power of prayer, and when we pray for food, and especially for specific foods, the answer to those prayers often comes in the form of an email or a phone call from Feed The Children, offering just want we need. Feed The Children has an application process and strict guidelines for the organizations they donate food to, so food donors can have assurance that their food won't be sold or misused, and financial donors can be assured that their donations are going to an organization where ethics matter.

We are a shelter facility that houses women and children in crisis. Without the help of Feed the Children our ability to provide all of their individual needs would be greatly impaired. We have received many items in our 12 years of operation directly from them that have saved us considerable costs. They have consistently provided different products to assist us in meeting the needs of approximately 2,000 women in that time. We are extremely appreciative of their work and wish there was more we could do to support them.

Feed The Children continuously provide us with our annual Christmas party gift to all our children for the past 7 years. Dios International holds an annual Christmas community party where free food, free games, free picture with santa and free Christmas gift is given to everyone. Feed the children provides us all our gifts, many times those gifts are already wrapped by different age groups and gender. Feed the children is an exceptional non-profit organization, they are going above and beyond to help children of all ages. Thank you for the continuous support.

I have worked with FTC for over five years serving the East Tennessee area. They have made a tremendous impact in our area. I have seen first hand how lives are changed by reaching out to those in need. THANK YOU! Keep up the good work.

I have worked with Feed The Children over 25 years. They have been so accomodating and helpful with my requests for many projects I have worked with involving children in the state of Oklahoma. I work mostly with the Oklahoma City Schools doing art project which involved as many as 9000 students, physical education programs with 5,000 children and a Drug Free program with at least 50,000 involved. Through Feed The Children, we have furnished school suppies, snacks, gifts and many other items. I also worked with a church that needed many supplies , snacks and water to assist with youth camps and other projects. Feed The Children made all of the projects I worked on very successful!

I am a new recipient of the good work of Feed the Children running a not for profit called WNYShares / The Teacher's Desk a store where teachers shop free for students in need. When recently applying for membership with Feed the Children they walked me through the application process smoothly and quickly in order to get supplies to us as soon as possible. The items I received have been a great addition to what we have to offer our teachers, books, craft items, children's magazines and more. Thank you Feed the Children for your work in feeding children not only food for the body, but food for the mind as well.

my name is Delinx Meralus, when we start to distribute food, most of the organization we've contacted ask for a membership fee, only Feed the children welcome us as a partner with free of charge and donating to our organization goods and again for free of charge.Thank you Feed the children for helping us make different in the life of under privileged people. Rev. Delinx Meralus / www.zwworldmission.org

During the FTC's turmoil I ceased donating money until I was satisfied the problem was resolved. I would like to point out to the last reviewer and all who may see this, the person being referred to with the home has nothing to do with FTC anymore, and has not for over a year. FTC's board has gone to great lengths to repair the damage done, refine their accounting processes, and become an accountable organization again. As a board member of a non-profit myself, I feel satisfied that they have taken the necessary measures to insure their practices are "kosher". As such I have again become a donor and happily do so.

Sorry, but whether the allegations are true or not this organization needs to do some self-reflection in my opinion. How can you ask for money for starving children from middle class families struggling themselves when the owners/priciples are living in million dollar houses??

Why not sell your million dollar house and buy one in the $250k range? That 750K would feed a lot of starving people and show how living humble and serving is the best example for your potential donors. If nothing else, use the other 750k to establish a perpetual trust that supports the stated mission. That way investment gains could be used to broaden the scope of the operation. Until then I doubt most donors are going to find sympathy for your situation (legal or otherwise).

Open Door Church of God In Christ located in Brooklyn NY has been in existence for over 30 years providing food, clothes and other resources to individuals and families in need. Since our partnership with Feed the Children we have been able to reach thousands of people distributing items that we picked up from their warehouse.
FTC has been a part of our ministry program for over 10 years. It is truly a blessing to have support from this organization. Most importantly, the needs for the less fortunate are being met. Feed the Children supplies are countless and the staff is always helpful. I am so thankful Feed the Children helps us make a difference to over 2,000 clients a week in need of food and other items made possible through a organization named FEED THE CHILDREN. Thank you and the Bedford Stuyvesant Community thanks you also.

Resurrection Life Church has worked with Feed the Children for fifteen years and we have had many excellent experiences with this fine organization. If I had to pick one special event which they made possible, it would have to be what occurred after the Oklahoma City bombing.

Our church worked closely with all the affected families for many months and still maintain contact with a number of them.

Many families lost their children on that terrible day. The devestating effects of that tragedy ripped a huge hole in the hearts and souls of the families, to a point where most of them could not be around children because of their painful memories.

We decided that with your help, we would sponsor a special Christmas event for the poor children in the neighborhood. Along with the staff at Feed the Children, we decided to pass out food and presents to the children and invited the families who lost children in the bombing to come to the event for an evening of healing. Almost all the family members showed up, but with understandably guarded emotions.

We placed all the gifts along one wall seperated by age and gender. Then we placed long tables in front of the presents with an army of volunteers behind the tables and placed chairs in front of the tables where we had the family members sit and wait for the doors to open with the excited kids.

The Lord was present that evening as the children sat on the laps of the family members. After hugs and kisses were given as thank yous for the beautiful presents Feed the Children had donated, the family members allowed themselves to feel joy (many for the first time since April 19th.) So not only were hundreds of children blessed due to the generosity of Feed the Children, but many greiving victims were also.

This is just one of hundreds of stories we have about our experience with Feed the Children and the wonderful people who run the show in Oklahoma City and around the country.

It is such a joy to work with FTC as a partner agency. They have been so helpfull to our organization " On your Feet, Inc. Since its inception, On Your Feet, Inc. has worked with families and individuals who are homeless, unemployed, or otherwise challenged with basic needs such as food and clothing.
 
Our relationship with Feed the Children has helped us to help so many. They have stepped in to help us provide donations of everything from Toys at Christmas to Household Cleaning supplies , personal hygiene products and even office needs! Our Clients are so grateful for the help. Especially the Children!!!!

I am the Director of Development of Impact Drug & Alcohol Treatment Center in Pasadena. Over the past 42 years we have treated more than 40,000 men and women for serious substance abuse problems. Feed the Children has been of immeasurable help to us in our goal of bringing treatment to the indigent by making hudreds of thousands of dollars worth of groceries, medical supplies and cleaning supplies available to us at not cost. During a very cold Winter, they supplied us with hundreds of warm sweaters. This fills a huge need for us with no cost, allowing us to use the dollars elsewhere. And it's so simple. They fax us the information about what is available for pick-up and we tell them what we can use, then we pick it up. It couldn't be easier. Thank you Feed the Children!

FTC,Inc has helped us out many times the last 2 years.As the VP of the board of Operation Care International,inc. in Dallas, Texas, we have an annual Christmas Event for the homeless at the Dallas Convention Center and FTC,Inc has been a great partner to help serve our 10-11,000 guests and 3,000 volunteers.We look forward to working with them more in the future.

My name is Mike Lynch, Pastor with Blood-N- Fire Ministries and I want to say thank you so very much to Feed the Children ,they have been a great partnering agency with us to feed the inner city and the rural areas in the Minnesota, Wisconsin, Texas, and California. We have also, with their help loaded several containers going to the earthquake victims in Haiti . When major catastrophes take place, FTC has always stood behind us and helped us in any way they can from hurricanes to the flooding, its just amazing to be able to work with a good partner in helping us help the poor and the needy.

My name is Pastor Rose Edkins, president of Family Outreach International Ministries. Feed the Children has been a blessing to our ministry in Georgia and in Haiti. We have been partners with Feed the Children for well over 20 years. The help we received for the children in Haiti and the homeless in Georgia has proven to show how much they care about the children of all nations as a whole. Since 1984, we have received seeds for planting, medical equipment and several containers of food. The staff of Feed the Children were and are so helpful in the restoration of Haiti. We look forward to several more years of working with Feed the Children for the donations of food and other needs of restoration of Haiti and Georgia.

God Blessing You

My name is Christopher Adebayo, When we started our food program, NO organization was will to take us as first timer, when we applied to FTC program, they helped us to start from the scratched. They provided us with all the help we needed to start. Today we are one of many in the Bronx NY. that benefit from the generousity of FTC. We have both logistic and moral encouragement to do what we love to do. FTC, we are grateful to God for you and all your staffs. Thanks in millions.

On behalf of the Albuquerque Indian Center (AIC), a non-profit located in Albuquerque, NM. The AIC has been serving disparite Urban Native Americans and others in various beneficial ways. The Mission of the Albuquerque Indian Center (AIC) is to, "Empower the Albuquerque Urban Native American Community and others through the provisions of wrap-around (counseling, job searches, case management, referrals) services designed to promote wellness, education, self-sufficiency and tradition."

It is vital that our agency obtains various collaborative partnerships to obtain resources, monetary donations and support. "Feed The Children, Inc.," has been one of our most dedicated and largest partnerships for over four years. They have contributed: food, clothing, hygiene and avon products to our agency during desperate times. We are blessed to have a wonderful relationship with this organization and look forward to future opportunities. We thank all of the volunteers, contributors and donators for allowing our people to obtain resources they would regularly go without! Thank You again! On behalf of the entire AIC staff, Executive Director, Program Manager and entire Albuquerque community! Keep up the excellent work!

Warehouse of Hope has been extremely blessed thanks to Feed the Children. Without Feed the Children we wouldn't be able to serve the 1,000+ needy families that come to us weekly for assistance.The last 3 years, because of the economy, more and more people are needing assistance with the basic necessities. Because of Feed the Children we are able to provide this and much more to these families. Thanks so much for what you do.

God Bless Feed the Children for helping us feed tens of thousands of needy families in South Florida. We really appreciate your donations and put them to use immediately to help those in need in our community.

His Eternal Power has been united with Feed the Children since 2/2001 and thru a united effort has traveled throughout 48 state many times over Feeding and clothing americas families in need. By the Generousity of All who are involved with Feed The Children this has been made possible.Without the donors of Feed the children and Feed the childrens willingness to help others to help others so many more would go hungry.We have been united with Feed the children and will continue to be, to continue Feeding the Hungry. I like the phrase Its who we are and it is what we do and I beleive it is what God has told us to do.

RCCG - House of David has really been blessed with Feed The Children organization since we have partnered with them. The hungry has been fed, the naked clothed. People are opened to the gospel more than never before because of their needs been met.

They have great staff that are concerned about the people.
This is the only organization we have partnered with and I recommend them to anyone out there.

Thanks for all you do in the Kingdom.

Feed the Children is one of the most important and valued assets to the thousands of non-profit organizations they serve, including Victory Christian Childrens Ministries / Operation: Feed - A - Child which serves more than 5000 children in need on a weekly basis. Feed the Children is one of the greatest blessings any benevolent organization could ever ask for. They are professional in all their dealings and are very above board with all their recipients as well as their donors. We are very proud to be a recipient of Feed the Children supplies and food donations and are very very impressed with the accounting of all donations that they distribute to their various agencies. Feed the Children is indeed one of the finest charities in America and their professionalism is unsurpassed as far as I am concerned.

I am the CEO of a statewide faith-based, free foodbank in Arkansas. We have been a distribution partner with Feed The Children for over 20 years. When FTC has food to share, they call or email. When we face shortages in food, we call them and they respond. When disasters hit Arkansas and we request assistance, they respond in a big way.

As a Christian organization, one of our most important resources is to pray for whatever we need, and more times than I can count, the way God answers our prayers is through Feed The Children.

FTC also seems to do a good job of inspecting the agencies they partner with, to make sure the food is not sold, traded, or used for purposes other than feeding the hungry. There is a pretty intensive application and inspection process, which I would think their donors, especially food donors, would appreciate.

Many foodbanks charge a shared maintenance fee, so donated food ends up costing the hunger agency. That is never the case with Feed The Children, and they do not allow their recipients to charge for the food either. I appreciate that donated food is given away based on need, not on how much money the charity has to spend.

Feed the Children has helped many of our clients with children. They have made it possible for families to survive and thrive with there outstanding compassions and never ending devotion to help people in need. They have made it possible in the past years for our clients to have Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner with there families without having to beg or receive help from the Dept. of Human Services. I know that through our continued partnership our clients will continue to flourish and we will be able to better serve them as well.

This organization truly makes a difference by giving food to those in need across the country. I am with the Macon Rescue Mission and they sent us 400 food boxes to distribute. The poverty rate here in Macon, GA is extremely high so this was a huge blessing. I was happy to see their work first-hand.

I am the executive director for a women and childrens shelter in Kaufman, Texas. I have worked with Feed the Children for approximately 6 years or more. I always have found them to be extremely helpful, creditable, professional, and more than accommodating in helping other ministries and organizations. My hat goes off to them for the incredible job they do all over our world. They are certainly and worthwhile and most needed organization.

Feed The Children is a great charity. They have always delivered on promises to help when I have contributed.

I would highly recommend them as a great non-profit to support

I have had the opportunity to help distribute food at several Feed The Children distributions. They work with local agencies to ensure that the people who receive help are truly in need.

The drivers, the coordinators and everyone representing the organization are first class and they are committed to the work they do.

This organization is well worthy of everyone's support.

When I give to charities, I always include Feed the Children. Seeing their semi trucks around the United States reassures me they are using my donation for their mission to feed children and families. I encourage everyone to be a supporter of this organization.

I would use caution with this organization, since the founders, Larry and Frances Jones were fired during a hostile takeover,(family member creating situation) Nov 2009. They have done a wonderful job for many years and I, for one, thank them.

I love them. I have always supported them b/c of their resposible recording and the big portion of donations go to the cause. They have always been a faithful org. Love them forever. I will always support them! They have been around for a long time and will be around for even longer. God Bless Feed The Children, always!

This is an amazing organization that came to our community at a time of absolute devastation for so many families. Their mission of making sure no one...especially children...goes hungry is carried out with genuine compassion and love.

Feed The Children (FTC Canada) is my No. 1 cause, and has been since I came upon it more than a year ago... all donations go towards feeding the hungry around the world and at home, wherever it is needed... We live in a world of abundance... there is no excuse for anyone to go hungry in this world of ours... ESPECIALLY CHILDREN... Give a little, give a lot... children everywhere ARE our future!!!

Since as early as I can remember, God has placed this organization on my heart for prayer and I continually do so. I do hope to volunteer actively in the future. God bless everyone involved and sharing His love to those who hunger and thirst.
