Update on the SAC and Schools


 Today, we are privileged to work with the most socially active students in the history of our country. Food for Orphans wants to offer schools an amazing opportunity to channel that enthusiasm and challenge students to be society’s next great generation of adults who will care for those in need.

 In September of 2010, Food for Orphans, created a new program to mentor the next generation in philanthropy and giving. This is our School Fundraiser Program and our Student Advisory Council (SAC).

 We have seen firsthand the passionate and effective way children respond to the needs of other children.









 No matter where they live, children have the same needs, wants and desires. They need food and shelter, they want to be loved, and they desire to help in whatever way they can.


Currently, we have students in over half the country working as Ambassadors for Food for Orphans. We are currently involved in Colorado, Texas, California, Delaware, Rhode Island, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tennessee, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, Missouri, Nevada, Illinois, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Virginia, and West Virginia.

As of today, we have 76 Student Advisory Council members representing 64 schools across the nation. These students have met the criteria we established for the SAC and have been recommended by their teachers and school administrators. These students are ambitious and have a desire to help those in need. We are adding more students daily.
 In order for these students to meet each other and share ideas, we have created an online forum http://forum.foodfororphans.org/. This is a site where the students can post the new things they are learning from the curriculum we have developed in the Student Advisory Council Handbook.




We have also created a website http://www.mysac.org/ for the students to find out more about the SAC, along with an SAC logo.





The School Fundraiser Program and Student Advisory Council are off to a great start and are continuing to grow as God blesses the endeavors of Food for Orphans.
