2023 All Hands on Hope MobilePackTM

2023 All Hands on Hope MobilePack^TM Feeds 1,595 Kids for One Year

Incarnation hosted its 16^th MobilePack^TM April 24-30, 2023 on site at Incarnation.     The event was a great success, in terms of packing meals as well as bringing the community together to support our ministry partner, Feed My Starving Children.     During fourteen shifts over 5 days, more than 1,900  volunteers packed 582,336 meals.     That number translates into feeding 1,595 of God’s beloved children for one year.    We also have raised over $180,000 to meet our financial goal.   This number will be updated as we receive additional donations over the coming days.

There were many highlights over the five days of packing.  While the number of volunteers did not reach pre-pandemic levels, those who showed up demonstrated dedication and efficiency which led us the large number of meals packed.   We were delighted to see not only members of the Incarnation community who have been faithfully volunteering since 2007, but many members of the greater community including large groups from Roseville Lutheran, Mounds View Girls La Crosse Team (players, coaches and parents), Calvary-Spring Lake Parish from the Rush Lake area, MN Tzu-Shao group, several local Rotary Clubs, Kiwanis Clubs, basketball teams, small groups, National Honor Society students, neighborhood groups and many more.   We had several companies who not only financially sponsored the event, but also provided volunteers including Thrivent Financial, Kevari, Trafera, Reell, Tradition Bank, Legacy Wealth and Eagle Brook Church.    More than ever, this was a larger community effort and we are grateful for the support of so many.

Many volunteers assisted behind the scenes, serving as Welcome Ambassadors, greeting volunteers and helping them register and get ready to pack, box makers, labelers, and the all-important set-up and tear-down crews.     All of these volunteers were treated to nutritious meals provided by different volunteer groups throughout the weekend.

We are so thankful for everyone who stepped up and made this event possible. We could not do this without the full support of the Incarnation staff and Incarnations Congregation Council.
