On the first Friday of the month, September 1st, 2023, the Phoenix Branch went to Feed My Starving Children to pack food from 7:00-9:00 PM (2 hours). During the event, the members of the branch packed ingredients such as rice, soy, vegetables, and vitamins into plastic bags for children in other parts of the world. The volunteers all had specific jobs in the process, such as scooping, bagging, weighing or sealing. Additionally, all members wore gloves and hairnets throughout the entire session to ensure that the food packed would not be contaminated.
The volunteers that participated in this event included: Michael Duan, Ryan Duan, Lawrence Zhong, Yongfeng Chen, Wenting Chen, Danyuan Mei, Kevin Chen, Marie Chen, Jenny Dong, Isaac Jiang, Vincent Jiang, Ava Zhang, Rithvik Narla, Aatmik Motethina, Elaine Huang, Audrey Zhang, Christina Vo, and Emily Zeng
