What is the Eastside Fill and Feed? A group of friends from local Churches on the Eastside of Seattle have partnered with FMSC to host a MobilePack event. Last year 1,350 volunteers packed more than 285,000 MannaPack Rice meals in Redmond, WA. The amount of meals packed was enough to fill one whole ocean container. On February 18th of this year we packed more than 100,000 meals towards our goal of over 300,000 meals!
What is FMSC? Feed My Starving Children, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that with the help of Cargill and General Mills scientists created MannaPack meals.
What is MannaPack? MannaPack is a special formula that is easy to digest for severely malnourished children. It was also formulated to be culturally acceptable worldwide. The meals are distributed in nearly 70 countries through more than 60 different missionary partnerships at orphanages, schools, clinics, refugee camps and malnourishment centers.
Why FMSC? FMSC doesn’t simply send one shipment of food to a country. Instead, they continue to provide their mission partners with the food they need to maintain their feeding programs. 93% of all donations to FMSC goes directly to the food program.
Why should I donate? Volunteers are responsible for raising the funds for the food. Each meal has a cost of $.24. 300,000 meals cost about $72,000. Your donation allows FMSC to bring the supplies and food to Seattle where volunteers pack them. FMSC donates the meals to distribution partners around the world.
Why should I volunteer? Packing the meals is a ton of fun. Bring the family, bring the coworkers, bring friends. It's fast paced, high energy, and very rewarding when you learn how many meals you pack.
