Join Milled in Helping Feed Starving Children Worldwide

At Milled, we believe it’s important to give back to our local community by offering high-quality whole food and fresh-milled bread. Now, we want to give back around the globe as well by providing children in need with food and nutrition.

That’s why we’re partnering with World Help, a Christian humanitarian organization that has impacted over 90 million people worldwide since 1991, to deliver healthy meals to boys and girls living in poverty. And we invite you to join us!

Every $30 you give is enough to feed one starving child for an entire year!

By combining your $30 with grants and food donations, World Help is able to maximize your gift to ship 365 meals to a child in need, helping to rescue them from malnutrition.

Learn More About Why Your Gift Is So Important

When a child doesn’t have nutritious food, his body and brain stop developing like they
should. His bones become brittle, he grows too weak even to walk, and eventually his organs start to shut down.

Children under age 3 are the most susceptible to death due to starvation. And one in every four children suffers from stunted growth as a result of malnutrition.

For $30, you can feed a starving child for an entire year.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does war and violence affect food scarcity?
During wartimes, shipments of food can’t make it through blockades or rubble-filled streets. Farmers often abandon their crops as they flee to safety, and farmland can be destroyed by bombings. Some militias will hoard food and gouge the prices for local residents, making it nearly impossible for them to feed their families.
How does food scarcity affect local economies?
When drought and famine plague communities, crops and livestock die. And when local farmers have nothing to sell, entire economies suffer. As the supply of food decreases, prices increase. People stop buying other goods and services so they can afford basics like bread. With fewer customers, business owners struggle even more to feed their families.
So what do people eat during a famine?
Many people are forced to eat unimaginable things just to survive. Some resort to eating grass or plants. Parents will often make an edible paste out of cornstarch and water. In war-torn countries in the Middle East, some have even boiled cardboard to eat. Of course, none of these options provide the nutrients families need to stay alive.
What types of food will my donation provide?
One of the main foods your gift will provide is fortified rice that includes added vitamins and minerals. You will also help send nutritional supplements specially designed to help children fight malnutrition.
