At the Feed My Starving Children MobilePack events, kids and adults alike have the memorable opportunity to make a significant difference in the lives of starving children. Feed My Starving Children ships meals to nearly 70 countries around the world, and according to Stratton, “Many of these meals will be going to Nicaragua where we work with a partner there who helps distribute the food.”

Anyone interested in participating in the Feed My Starving Children MobilePack events is encouraged to register for a 2-hour packing spot at ccclife.org/fmsc. Volunteers do not need to attend Christ Community Church.
