Volunteering at Feed My Starving Children: A True Balance Karate Experience
At True Balance Karate, we believe in not only building strong martial artists but also fostering a sense of community and compassion in our students. We are proud to share a recent experience from one of our dedicated students, Liam, who demonstrated these values through his volunteer work at Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) in Aurora.
Liam’s Volunteering Journey
Hi, my name is Liam, and I recently had the incredible opportunity to volunteer at Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) in Aurora on May 7th, 2024. This experience was both fun and deeply rewarding, as we worked to help families in need of food.
Making a Difference
During our volunteer session, we packed an impressive 102 boxes, which translates to 20,032 meals. These meals will feed 60 children for an entire year. It was heartwarming to know that all of the meals we packed went directly to Ukraine, and some were also sent to Ghana. Our team consisted of about 20 volunteers, all working together to make a difference. We carefully placed nutrients and food into bags, sealed them, and prepared them for shipping.
A Moment of Reflection
At the end of our session, we gathered together to pray for the safe delivery of the food we had packed. It was a powerful moment, reminding us of the impact our efforts can have on the lives of others. I am incredibly grateful to have been a part of this amazing opportunity and feel like I have made a meaningful impact on people’s lives.
