During its 29-year history, Feed The Children has grown into one of the world's largest private organizations dedicated to helping hungry and hurting people. Last year, Feed The Children shipped 129 million pounds of food and other essentials to children and families in all 50 states and in 43 foreign countries, supplementing more than 730,000 meals a day worldwide. The organization delivered more than 643 truckloads of relief to locations across the region affected by the Gulf Coast hurricanes in 2005 – including millions of dollars worth of supplies donated by Office Depot. Since its founding in 1979, Feed The Children has reached out to help children and families in 118 countries around the globe. The heart of Feed The Children's U.S. program is distributing food to needy families. To do this, it works closely with caring corporate partners that donate surplus food and other supplies, as well as with individual donors who help defray the cost of transporting the product donations.
