Please help with the Feed My Starving Children MobilePack hosted by Gateway Christian Church scheduled to be held from October 9-13, 2024. Registration for the event will begin in September 2024 through a link at https://give.fmsc.org/gateway . (If you click the volunteer button at this link now to provide your email contact info, then you will receive an email reminder when registration opens.)

While nobody has to pay to pack, donations will help us increase the number of children we can feed - only 29 cents will pay for a meal and $106 will feed a child a meal a day for an entire year. Donations secured through mid-June will determine the number of meals we can order and the number of children we can feed. You can help by donating or starting an online fundraising team here: https://give.fmsc.org/gateway. Groups donating $500 per group of 10 people will be allowed to pre-register for their desired shift date/time.

This is a wonderful volunteer opportunity for families (anyone age 5+), school groups, clubs, sports teams, businesses for team building, churches, etc. There are more physical, standing/moderate exertion, and seated tasks - something for everyone.

Our goal is to fund at least 1.3 million meals to feed 3,500+ children a meal a day for a year, with the help of 3,300+ volunteers spanning fifteen two-hour shifts. Please join us - hunger is a solvable problem!

Description

About Feed My Starving Children

Feed My Starving Children is a Christian nonprofit dedicated to providing nutritious meals to children worldwide. We at FMSC are thankful for our friends of all backgrounds and beliefs that join together with us to pack these meals, because we all believe that every child deserves food, hope, and a future. FMSC meals are hand-packed by volunteers and sent to an incredible network of partner organizations who distribute them to those in need. FMSC meals are Vegan, Kosher, and Halal certified to ensure that they are acceptable to those that need them. More than 1.3 million volunteers packed nearly 365 million FMSC meals in 2018. More than 91 percent of total donations go directly to feed kids.

About MobilePack(tm) events

Volunteers just like you join hands with neighbors across the U.S. to pack and fund lifesaving FMSC MannaPack(tm) meals through FMSC MobilePack(tm) events.
