I have volunteered a few times now with my church group. Kristen keeps us organized and moving the entire time we are there. She will find something for everyone to do from our youth to some of the elders in our group.

I love working with Kristen every Thursday morning. I always feel so happy when I leave knowing that many people will be getting a care package filled with essentials and love from the many volunteers that fill them. It's a wonderful organization and often quite a nice workout too I might add. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to help such a worthy cause.

I took my Cadette troop and the girls loved it! They packed boxed with food on an assembly line. They worked hard and did a great job and said they loved doing it. The coordinator is friendly and helped us with anything we needed. We would do it again in a heartbeat!! It was a very rewarding experience. And we loved that we were helping people in the Lehigh Valley.

Feed The Children is a fun place to volunteer at. Everyone is always friendly and we have fun assembling the boxes that get sent out to children in need. I have volunteered twice so far and look foward to going back many more times.

Every Thursday afternoon I go to volunteer and am greeted by Kristin with big "hi" and a big smile. I retired 2 years ago and needed to do something and saw the article in our local paper. I love children and I felt this would help them when they are in need. This is a wonderful organization. I live on Social Security and can not help with cash, but I can help with my hands and heart.

The two hours I volunteer weekly are the most fulfilling hours of my week! My 13 and10 year old daughter join me with a group of their friends! They love it! Kristen mills, the volunteer coordinator is always enthusiastic about what we are doing, helps us stay motivated and consistently jumps on the line to help! It has become a staple part of our week!
