MobilePack Days are a gathering of people from all over the community in 2-hour shifts.  The food that we pack and send is a packet of rice, soy protein, dehydrated vegetables, and vitamin-fortified chicken flavoring that has been engineered by dieticians to be exactly what an undernourished child needs.


Each meal costs only 17 cents, so to cover the cost of the meals that we will be packing, we will need to raise about $46,000.

The food is distributed by FMSC to pre-existing, local organizations worldwide. They give to places such as clinics, refugee camps, missions organizations, etc. FMSC personally visits each distribution point to make sure that they are what they appear to be, and that the food is being used for its intended purpose.

Children/Youth are welcome! Packing meals is fun and high-energy but is feasible for anyone. Over 50% of the meals that FMSC sends out each year are packed by volunteers under the age of 18.

If each volunteer provides $40, the cost of the meals will be covered.  Here are some ideas for raising your share!
