Feed My Starving Children Offers Special Easter Packing Sessions
Families and church groups are invited to join together to celebrate Easter by packing meals with Feed My Starving Children.
At these Easter sessions, volunteers are asked to invest time and make a donation to feed the world’s hungry. Normally, FMSC does not require a donation, but for these sessions each volunteer commits to funding a box of 216 MannaPack™ meals at $50. One box feeds a child for seven months.
The following sessions are offered for the Easter season at Feed My Starving Children sites in Aurora, Schaumburg and Libertyville, IL:
- Good Friday, March 25, 9-11 am
- Holy Saturday, March 26, 9-11 am and 11:30 am – 1:30 pm
