Re: Feed the children!!

Sherri might could answer this question. I know some are the real thing but a lot are not. Send Sherri a PM. Blessings to you.
We have a program called, Feed a family. It has helped several needy families have food. For a while every Saturday we had a soup kitchen for the hungry but because of lack of means it is closed for the tie being...over half the world goes to bed hungry every night.

Re: Feed the children!!

And although it's in the USA, don't forget Tupelo Children's Mansion.

They can always use donations and they help lots of kids.

Re: Feed the children!!

I sponsored a child for a long while through Feed the Children. I know they are legitimate, but some of the others I'm a little leery of. Christian Children's Fund is a good one too though.

Samaritan's Purse, a Franklin Graham organization, is an excellent place to give to as well.
