Community Fellowship volunteers to hand pack 150,000 life-saving meals

In May, 750 Community Fellowship attendees and West Chicago community members will rally to be a part of the hunger solution through a partnership between Community Fellowship and nonprofit Feed My Starving Children. They will make a difference by packing 150,000 meals with their own two hands in just two days, May, 6-7.

All of this will take place at Community Fellowship, 28W240 North Ave., West Chicago, IL 60185.

Community members can support this MobilePack by making a donation to cover meal costs, or by volunteering to package food at the event. Donations may be given immediately, and volunteer registration is available now. To learn more, visit www.commfell.org/fmsc2016 or www.fmsc.org/MobilePack.

Feed My Starving Children is a Christian non-profit founded in 1987. Feed My Starving Children tackles world hunger by sending volunteer-packed, nutritious meals to 70 countries, where they're used to operate orphanages, schools, clinics and feeding programs to break the cycle of poverty. Last year, Feed My Starving Children welcomed more than 1 million volunteers to pack nearly 273 million meals. The Minnesota-based charity spends more than 90 percent of total donations directly on feeding the hungry and has earned the highest four-star rating from Charity Navigator for 11 consecutive years.

MobilePack events enable children and adults across the United States to pack FMSC's life-giving MannaPack meals. Churches, businesses, community groups and schools in more than 35 states have hosted these food-packing events as a way to foster teamwork and unity, while making a real difference in the fight to prevent and reverse malnutrition. FMSC provides guidance and logistics. Local donors and volunteers provide funds and labor to pack the meals.
