Posted: September 23, 2025
Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology program staff and faculty at A.T. Still University-Arizona School of Health Sciences (ATSU-ASHS) traded their weekly team meeting for a day of service at Mesa-based nonprofit Feed My Starving Children (FMSC).
On Aug. 27, two staff and seven faculty members packed 53 boxes, contributing to the community total of 168 boxes and 36,288 meals, which is enough to feed 99 children a daily meal for a year.
The group donned hairnets and gloves while they hand-packed each meal, which consists of a mix of rice, soy, dried vegetables, and vitamins. The nutritious meals, called MannaPack™ meals, are specifically formulated to supplement nutritional needs and reduce problems with malnutrition.
