Review for Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities, Saint Paul, MN, USA
I have worked specifically with the Food Services division of Union Gospel Mission, and have had great experiences with them. They help thousands of people in the Twin Cities directly, and indirectly by partnering with other orginizations and utilizing their connections to further their food outreach.

Review for Feed My Starving Children, Coon Rapids, MN, USA
What a wonderful organization. You cannot do much more good then to feed people who are dying of starvation. The meals are packaged in centers in the US, and sent all over the world. The meals are engineered to provide essential nutritional needs. Look at the stories on their site.. You can go down solo, or bring a group. A little time can make a big difference. The centers are very well managed, and informative. The staff is very knoweledgeable and accommodating. They even tally up the numbers from your group so you can see how many children you have fed with the meals you packaged. A very rewarding experience.
