Feed My Starving Children

Feeding God’s starving children hungry in body and spirit.

Founded in 1987, Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is a Christian non-profit that provides nutritionally complete meals specifically formulated for malnourished children. Our process is simple. Donations given by people just like you fund the meal ingredients. Volunteers hand-pack the meals. Meals are donated to FMSC food partners around the world, where kids are fed and lives are saved! 

How You Can Get Involved:

  • Volunteer for a shift at the MobilePack (The next packing at St. Matthew is October 17 -19, 2024)

Everyone Matters Ministry

EveryONE Matters Ministries aka EMM exists to provide transitional housing and discipleship in the name of Jesus Christ to the less fortunate, in particular the homeless. EMM’s founders, Steve and Nanette Lindner, came to the realization in mid May of 2015, that the needs of the “less fortunate” globally, nationally and even locally are overwhelming. So much so that we just give up and many times do nothing.

EVERY SWING MATTERS GOLF TOURNAMENT FOR 2024 IS OCTOBER 21
