Feed My Starving Children MobilePack Event at Incarnation Incarnation has partnered with Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) since 2007 by hosting MobilePack™ events on site. Over the past five MobilePack events, Incarnation volunteers have pack more than 2 million meals! That is enough to feed more than 5,000 kids for a year. . FMSC is a Christian organization that is dedicated to providing nourishing food to starving children worldwide. They provide significant volunteer service opportunities for youth groups, families, business groups, congregations and mission-focused organizations, at their permanent packing facilities in the Twin Cities and Chicagoland, as well as at MobilePack™ events across the nation. FMSC’s mission is Feeding God’s Starving Children Hungry in Body and Spirit. We and they believe that by providing nourishment, we give millions of children the opportunity to live more meaningful lives by growing physically and spiritually.

Why does Incarnation partner with Feed My Starving Children? In 2009 Feed My Starving Children was able to produce over 95 million meals for children in Haiti, Nicaragua, the Philippines, Zimbabwe, and 60 other countries. Twenty-six million of those were from MobilePackTM events. In 2010, FMSC hopes to produce at least 127 million meals - 30 million meals through the MobilePackTM program Each meal costs only 22 cents (please note that because of rising food costs, the cost of a FMSC meal went from 19 cents to 22 cents--that's a 16% increase in one year!) Food scientists from General Mills and Cargill developed a specially formulated, highly nutritious meal that contains all of the daily nutrients a starving child needs to survive. Feed My Starving Children partners with other organizations world-wide to distribute these life-giving meals. 100% of FMSC food is packaged by volunteers. More than half of the volunteers are under age 18. 93% of the total donations go directly to feeding starving children Accomplishments from previous years events: 2012 Raised 92,000 and packaged 474, 768 meals, which will feed 1,301 children for a year. 2010 Raised over $75,000 to host 1546 volunteers who packaged 441,936 meals, which will feed 1,210 children for a year.2011 Raised $95,000 to host 1750 volunteers who packaged 508,464 meals, which will feed 1393 children for a year. 2008 Raised $68,074 to host 1754 volunteers who packaged 455,412 meals, which fed 1,247 children for a year. 2007 Raised $40,950 to host 1100 volunteers who packaged 274,115 meals, which fed 751 children for a year.
