Feed My Starving Children MobilePack hosted by Gateway Christian Church

Please help with the Feed My Starving Children MobilePack hosted by Gateway Christian Church scheduled to be held from October 14-18, 2026. Registration for the event will begin in September 2026 through a link at https://give.fmsc.org/gateway. (If you click the volunteer button at this link now to provide your email contact info, then you will receive an email reminder when registration opens.)

While nobody has to pay to pack, donations will help us increase the number of children we can feed - only 29 cents will pay for a meal and $106 will feed a child a meal a day for an entire year. Donations secured through July will determine the number of meals we can order and the number of children we can feed. You can help by donating or starting an online fundraising team here: https://give.fmsc.org/gateway. Groups donating $500 per group of 10 people will be allowed to pre-register for their desired shift date/time.

This is a wonderful volunteer opportunity for families (anyone age 5+), school groups, clubs, sports teams, businesses for team building, churches, etc. In addition to the standing/moderate exertion assembly-line-like packing stations for teams of 15-20 people, there are more physical jobs carrying ingredients and packaged meals, as well as seated tasks - there is something for everyone.

During our October 2025 event, with the help of 3,300 volunteers, we packed 1,430,784 meals to provide a nutritious daily meal to 3,919 children for an entire year. Our goal for 2026 is to again fund and pack 1.4 million meals to feed 3,900+ children a meal a day for a year. We will need the help of 3,600 volunteers spanning fifteen two-hour shifts. Please join us - hunger is a solvable problem!
