Feed My Starving Children
December Packing Event
Dec 12 - 14
Our next packing event is December 12 to 14. We need your help because every child matters. We know that when one child’s life is saved, this is an incredible victory. No matter what your role looks like you get to be a part of saving lives and see the tangible life-change that happens when a malnourished child eats FMSC meals.
Last year’s packing event was a huge success with over 132K meals packed right here at La Casa de Cristo.
We need you here the weekend of Dec 12-14! You can setup, pack or cleanup, every job is important in helping feed hungry children across the globe. Matthew 25:35 tells us ‘For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ‘
Let us live out those words spoken by Jesus to serve and be generous.
