We have been very impressed with what Feed My Starving Children does as a charity and have enjoyed serving at their facility in Mesa with our family and friends. We have been able to donate $971.00 so far and have provided over 4,413 meals to starving children around the world! Thank you for being a part of our gym it is helping children around the world!
