Feed My Starving Children – October 2017

Members of Strategic Wealth Partners (SWP) rolled up their sleeves and put on hairnets to pack meals for hungry children. Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) provides a fun and competitive way for people to serve those in need around the world. Volunteers form an assembly line that begins with scooping rice, soy, vegetables, and vitamins into a bag, weighing and sealing the bag, and then packing it in a box for shipment. Collectively, volunteers during this session packed 65 boxes of food that were sent to Malawi – this is the equivalent of feeding 39 children for a year!

FMSC offer several packing sessions per week in Libertyville, IL. The SWP team highly recommends taking your friends, family or coworkers to a session.

Often referred to as the “Great Wealth Transfer,” studies show that roughly $84 trillion in assets amassed by baby boomers will change hands over the next 20 years. When examined more closely, a third of today’s high-net-worth individuals inherited their wealth.  According to the UBS Billionaire Ambitions Report, in 2023, more new billionaires were created by inherited wealth rather than entrepreneurship.
