2025 All Hands on Hope MobilePackTM Results
Incarnation recently hosted over 2,000 volunteers during the Feed My Starving Children All Hands on HopeMobilePackTM, held April 30 – May 4th, 2025. During that time, we achieved our goal of packing 614,304 meals to feed 1,683 of God’s hungry kids one meal per day for a year. We also had a goal of raising $180,000 to pay for the meals we packed, and as of May 15, we have raised over $189,000! Additional funds will be used to replenish the seed money for the All Hands On Hope MobilePack, tentatively scheduled for April 22-26, 2026.
It was a meaningful, heart-warming five days as we came together as a community with a common goal: To end childhood hunger. At the end of our opening shift on Wednesday, April 30th, we prayed over a box label that had been signed by children in Africa who were recipients of MannaPackTM meals and we were reminded that hunger has a name.
One of the best things about the MobilePack is how many people were welcomed into our church building. We had many different groups, including scout troops, senior communities, National Honor Society students, local businesses, families, sports teams, churches of many denominations and local service groups like Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis clubs. We are truly blessed work with a variety of people who share the common goal to feed God’s hungry children.
On Sunday, May 4th, our last day of packing, we had two scheduled shifts. We had some serious ground to make up to reach our packing goal. To do that, we extended our final packing session approximately 30 minutes. Many volunteers stayed on a little longer to finish the job and celebrate our 18th successful All Hands on Hope MobilePack. Those last two shifts were highly productive, averaging 2 boxes per volunteer which is double what we hope to pack during each shift. Thanks to that energy and volunteers willing to spend the extra time, we were able to achieve our packing goal.
Thank you to everyone who made this incredible event possible, including the supportive staff at Incarnation Lutheran Church and the Congregation Council. We are already looking forward to the 2026 All Hands on Hope MobilePack, tentatively scheduled for April 22 – 26, 2026!
