A Christian non-profit founded in 1987, Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) tackles world hunger by sending volunteer-packed, nutritious meals to nearly 70 countries, where they’re used in orphanages, schools, clinics and other building blocks of healthy communities. Last year, 1 million volunteers produced 33 million meals.

Teamworks has worked with this international hunger-relief organization since 2008, handling publicity for the Arizona branch of the Minnesota-based nonprofit. Since then, Teamworks also has brought in our PRConsultants Group colleagues in Chicago, Minneapolis, and Dallas to assist with ongoing PR efforts in those markets.

Through an introduction from PRCs Barb Harris in Arizona, Feed My Starving Children utilizes the media relations skills of PRCs like Gary Young in Minnesota, Toni Antonetti in Chicago and Amy Smith in Washington, DC to publicize the organization’s efforts to acquire volunteers and raise funds to pack meals for children around the world.
