General Description
New to volunteering or just not quite sure if it is a good fit for you? Explore the possibility by experiencing the impact of what a few hours of volunteering can do with Dakota County and Feed My Starving Children. FMSC offers volunteers a local one-of-a-kind experience that makes a global impact. You’ll hand-pack rice, soy, dried vegetables and a nutritionally complete blend of vitamins and minerals into bags which are then sealed, boxed, placed on pallets (all volunteer driven!) and shipped to incredible partners working hard to reach the neediest children around the world.
Through volunteering at FMSC, you’ll get the chance to impact hundreds of kids in just a couple of hours. You’ll experience what it’s like to make a tangible difference today. Plus, this event makes a great date night or family fun event!
