Summer Volunteers Needed at Feed My Starving Children Aurora

As students and their families plan for summer vacation, Christian hunger relief organization Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is inviting volunteers of all ages to help them pack nutritious meals for hungry children worldwide.

Volunteers age 5 and older can participate in two-hour meal packing shifts at FMSC, where they learn about world hunger and use their own hands to pack nutritious MannaPack meals. At the end of a lively, assembly line-style packing session, volunteers celebrate the ‘grand total’ of meals packed and children impacted. The meals are then shipped to one of nearly 70 nations, where they become fuel for community development in schools, orphanages, clinics and feeding programs. 

FMSC has seven national volunteering locations, with three in Illinois: Libertyville, Aurora and Schaumburg. FMSC also partners with local churches, schools and organizations to hold community-hosted MobilePack events in temporary locations around the United States.

FMSC shifts are scheduled weeks in advance, so volunteers are encouraged to book their summer packing sessions now. To sign up to pack at an FMSC site or event, visit fmsc.org/volunteer.
