T HE GOAL OF FEED THE CHILDREN They deliver food, medicine, clothing, and other necessities to individuals, children & families who lack these essentials due to famine, war, poverty, or natural disaster. They allow people to sponsor a child monthly which provides them with food, books,& medical supplies. They encourage people to go on trips to impoverished places first hand to help out & change their perspective on life.

H ISTORY OF F EED THE CHILDREN Larry and Frances Jones are Co- Founders of Feed the Children which they started over 27 years ago. Larry was inspired to start Feed the Children after he got to personally know starving children on a trip to Haiti. They started with the office in their kitchen, and it is now the 9 th largest charity in the United States.
