Feed My Starving Children has been providing meals across the globe for more than 30 years and currently delivers more than one million meals across the globe each day. The organization has been helping to feed Ukrainian people in need for the past eight years, so already has the contacts and infrastructure in place to provide meals in Ukraine and in neighboring countries that have welcomed millions of refugees.
“These meals are critically needed now and for the foreseeable future according to everyone involved in helping the Ukrainian people,” said Andy Carr, Vice President of Feed My Starving Children. “The generous support of the New Mexico Ice Wolves and people of New Mexico is appreciated more than mere words can express.”
“It’s an honor to be a small part of this initiative with our partners at the New Mexico Ice Wolves,” said Jonathan Hufnagel of DASH Auctions. “We’ll be rolling up our sleeves to ensure these jerseys get the most exposure they possibly can and raise as much money for the effort as possible.”
“With each dollar amazingly able to provide four meals, every New Mexico Ice Wolves fan can make a big difference to help feed displaced Ukrainian families,” said Stan E. Hubbard, owner of the New Mexico Ice Wolves and Outpost Ice Arenas. “The New Mexico Ice Wolves are hoping to make a big impact with our special jersey night and auction, but also with fans and others in our state helping out.”

According to the most recent statistics from the World Health Organization approximately 6200 children age 5 and under DIE of starvation EVERYDAY around the world. This is a horrible thing to think about, much less hear about and do nothing. FMSC has worked with food scientists to develop a specific food formula that is designed to help bring children on the brink of death back to health and give them a chance to get back to normal life. The food was designed to be packaged in vacuum sealed bags that are easy to ship, handle and prepare. It contains vitamins, vegetables, soy and rice. Because it was designed to contain no meat it is readily accepted in all religious and cultural circles, many who do not eat meat. Last year FMSC provided 388,000,000 meals to over 70 countries around the world. These meals were all packed in the United States by over 1,400,000 volunteers. A very import factor about FMSC is it’s model of efficiency. Because of the huge volunteer component of the packing, FMSC is able to convert 92% of all donations they receive directly into delivering food.
