Feed My Starving Children Packing Event

Calvary Lutheran Church, 7520 Golden Valley Road

Faith communities unite to serve the poor!  St. Joseph Catholic Community partnered with nearby Calvary Lutheran Church to support Feed My Starving Children. A brief introduction and training was provided to 94 participants and off we went, packing 26,568 meals that will feed 72 children for a year!!! SJCC also contributed $5000 to support the costs associated with this event.

St. Joseph volunteers are always encouraged to wear their yellow Pitch in Participant (PIP) or Super Service Saturday t-shirts for outreach events. Parishioners can also financially support these events with financial donations. Children ages 8 and up can pack; ages 6 and 7 need to have parent at their side. Throughout the events we collect non-perishable food items for our local food shelves, so this event feeds children and families here at home and abroad. Come join us!

PRAY WITH US FOR SAFE SHIPPING: Click this video link and pray with our High School Youth Minister for nurishment of bodies and souls of children in need and that our hard work is delivered safety to them.

WHO IS FMSC?

Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is a non-profit Christian organization based in Minnesota that is committed to feeding God’s starving children hungry in body and spirit. The approach is simple: children and adults alike hand-pack meals designed specifically for starving children. A single bag of food provides meals for 6 children. FMSC meals are then shipped and distributed in over 50 countries around the world through missionary partners at orphanages, schools, clinics, refugee camps and malnourishment centers.
 
For years, St Joseph and other area local churches have packed millions of meals in onsite and mobile pack events. 

Walking forward in faith, FMSC ended the 2020/2021 fiscal year, providing 267,467,147 meals and feeding an impressive 732,786 starving children.

But that’s not all, in 2020/21:

• 2,483 artisans earned a living to support their families through FMSC MarketPlace™ partners. 
• 99.8% of the packaged meals were shipped safely and reached their intended locations.
• FMSC received a 4-star Charity Navigator rating for the 16th consecutive year, placing them in the top 1% of charities reviewed.
• 86% of total annual donations went directly to meal production, a slight dip from previous years, but one that still exceeds all professional benchmarks, despite the year’s challenges.

We can set goals, but God’s plans will always supersede. And this year, we can say without hesitation and with overwhelming joy and gratitude: God was at work and He was at work through you.
