Lancaster County Feed My Starving Children MobilePack
 
Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the poor.” – Proverbs 22:9
 

We invite you to join us in being a part of the hunger solution through this Lancaster County Feed My Starving Children MobilePack. This is an opportunity to learn about hunger related issues, pray for those in need, raise funds to cover the cost of meals and pack meals for the hungry. Through this powerful event, we can impact the lives of thousands of children.

Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding God’s children hungry in body and spirit. The approach is simple: children and adults hand-pack meals specifically formulated for malnourished children, and we ship the meals to nearly 70 countries around the world.

11th Lancaster County

Feed My Starving Children MobilePack

will take place on

Friday-Sunday, March 20-22, 2026.

 
The 11th Lancaster County Feed My Starving Children MobilePack will take place Friday-Sunday, March 20-22, 2026 at Willow Street Mennonite Church, Willow Street, PA. 2,000 volunteers will pack 400,000 meals to help alleviate world hunger!  To date, our meals have gone to Somalia, Haiti, Belize, Dominican Republic, Malawi, Uganda, Jamaica, Poland, Guyana, Moldova and Peru. Working together over the last 10 events, more than 12,000 volunteers from our community have come together to send more than 2.7 million meals to those most in need around the world!  
 
 
How does it work? 2,000 volunteers work during 2 hour shifts to pack 400,000 meals in 3 days.  The volunteers come from churches, schools, businesses, friends, relatives, co-workers and anyone else who would like to participate.  It is an awesome opportunity for families and friends to volunteer and spend time together for a great cause!
 
 

Can anyone do it? For safety and efficiency, required student-to-adult ratios are put in place:

K-2nd grade     1 student to 1 adult

3rd-6th grade    3 students  to 1 adult

7th-9th grade     4 students to 1 adult

10th-12th grade  5 students  to 1 adult

Sit down jobs are available as neededWe welcome volunteers of all abilities, ages 5 and up!

 

Does it cost to participate? Every individual who signs up for a packing shift is encouraged to make a personal goal of contributing a minimum of $63.  At the price of 29 cents a meal, this covers the cost of 1 box of packed meals (216 meals) which is the average amount a single volunteer packs in a 2 hour period.  Whether a person can contribute 29 cents or $290, we welcome you to participate in the MobilePack event.
