FEED MY STARVING CHILDREN

This holiday season, the SMACNA Greater Chicago YES Committee is giving back to the global community — and we want you to join us! On November 19, we’re partnering with Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) to pack food for children in some of the most food-insecure places around the world. Since 2008, FMSC has helped ship more than 5 billion meals to children who need them most, and SMACNA Greater Chicago is proud to be part of that impact. Come ready to work, have some fun and make a positive difference alongside your fellow members.
