About the event
We need over 400 volunteers to fill several 2 hour time slots on Sat. June 18th (strong & able bodied men & women are needed for set up on Friday evening).
For safety reasons, children under the age of 5 are not allowed in our packing area (sorry, no exceptions). Everyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Children (5 & older) and youth are encouraged to participate but please follow the suggested adult:child ratio.
- Grades K-2: 1 student to 1 adult
- Grades 3-6: 3 students to 1 adult
- Grades 7-12: 4 students to 1 adult
IMPORTANT! Each meal costs 25 cents to pack and ship. Our church has committed to packing over 100,000 meals which means we need to collect $25,000 to make this event happen. Each participant will pack $50 worth of food. So your financial support is needed! Donations can be made on the FMSC website or in person on the day of the event. And you don't need to volunteer on the day of the event to make a donation!
