J.C. Restoration volunteers to produce 100,000 life-saving meals
This week, hundreds of J.C. Restoration community members will work to feed thousands of starving children in the developing world. Through a partnership between J.C. Restoration and Feed My Starving Children (FMSC), volunteers will prepare 100,000 life-saving meals at this FMSC MobilePack™. The event will take place June 3 at J.C. Restoration Headquarters: 3200 Squibb Avenue, Rolling Meadows, IL.
Packing sessions, each beginning with a 15-minute overview of FMSC's work around the world, will take place at the following times:
• 9:00am - 11:00am
• 11:30am - 1:30pm
• 2:00pm - 4:00pm
We still have volunteer slots available. Community members can also support this MobilePack by making a donation for food production costs. To donate, visit fmsc.org/mobilepack/events.
We invite news media to attend this event. Children and adults will put on hairnets and gather in an energetic atmosphere to hand-pack rice meals filled with essential nutrients specifically formulated to nourish hungry children around the world. To schedule an interview, contact Candace Johnson at 800.956.8844 or cjohnson@jcr24.com.
