One theme at the heart of our TAGG meetings continued to be service. We always ended up talking about kindness and empathy towards others during our meetings, so we decided to have a service project in the summer. We chose Feed My Starving Children, an organization dedicated to feeding the hungry children of the world (https://www.fmsc.org/). This amazing organization was an excellent project for us: they could accommodate our large crowd, they eagerly accepted children working to pack meals and the help we gave was tangible. Please visit their website if you're not familiar with their outreach and commitment to service. For many of the girls, this was old hat -- they'd been there with family or church groups many times. Others experienced it all for the first time with TAGG. When we saw that we had contributed to packing over 13,000 meals, we were energized! Everyone said they couldn't wait to go back. Doing good AND having fun? Winner winner, chicken dinner.
