The Feed My Starving Children All Hands on Hope MobilePackTM will be held at Incarnation Lutheran Church from April 26-30, 2023. Over five days, we will host over 2,000 volunteers to pack at more than 600,000 meals to feed children all over the world suffering from food insecurity. After hosting several smaller events over the last two years, the Feed My Starving Children Action Group is looking forward to an event similar in scale to those held in pre-pandemic times.
This will be our 16th MobilePack held at Incarnation. Since 2007, we have hosted over 28,000 volunteers who have packed 8 million meals and raised over $1.6 million to combat world hunger. We need your help in many ways to make this year’s MobilePack a success.

In addition to packing meals during the shifts listed above, we also need “Green Shirt” volunteers. Green Shirts are responsible for “behind the scenes” work during MobilePacks, including checking in volunteers, assisting FMSC staff in the packing room, serving Manna Pack samples to volunteers and other duties as assigned. The time commitment for these individuals is slightly longer than a typical packing shift. Visit the SignUp Genius here to register to be a Green Shirt!
