A Twin Cities-based aid group is offering opportunities to help in the Haitian earthquake relief effort.

Feed My Starving Children is appealing for Minnesotans to donate time and money to provide lifesaving meals for Haitians in the coming days and weeks.

The Christian aid group says it needs thousands more volunteers in the next six weeks for its three food-packing sites in the Twin Cities: Coon Rapids, Eagan and Chanhassen. Daytime volunteers are especially needed.

Each site will also hold emergency shifts today from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., as well as next Sunday, Jan. 24, in Coon Rapids and Chanhassen only, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Site contact information and donation information is available at www.fmsc.org.
