Hunger Relief Organization Feed My Starving Children Offers Special Packing Sessions for Easter

Chicago, Mar. 17, 2015 – Families and church groups are invited to join together to celebrate Easter by packing meals with Feed My Starving Children and covering the costs with a gift of $50 per volunteer or $150 per household.

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, Libertyville and Schaumburg:

● Sunday, March 29, 1-3 pm

● Good Friday, April 3, 9-11 am

● Holy Saturday, April 4, 9-11 am and 11:30 am – 1:30 pm

Reserve spots at fmsc.org/fullyinvested. There is room for 140 volunteers at the Aurora and Libertyville sites, and 90 in Schaumburg.

At FMSC meal-packing, adults and children age five and older hand-assemble MannaPack™ meals consisting of rice, soy nuggets, dehydrated vegetables and flavoring with 20 vitamins and minerals. The fun activity draws families and groups together, while feeding the hungry.
