Schaumburg, IL – Residents looking to give back this week can take part in a volunteer meal-packing event Wednesday morning at Feed My Starving Children in Schaumburg, helping provide food to children facing hunger around the world.
According to Schaumburg Township, the volunteer trip is scheduled for Wednesday, January 14, beginning at 9:30 a.m. at the Feed My Starving Children packing facility located at 740 Wiley Farm Court.
