Volunteers pack 650,000 meals for global distribution at Feed My Starving Children event

Volunteers gathered at Green Bay Community Church in Howard, Wisconsin, to pack over 650,000 meals as part of the Feed My Starving Children Green Bay MobilePack event. The initiative, held from October 6 to October 9, 2025, saw approximately 3,500 volunteers contribute to the effort across eight rotating sessions. The meals are intended for distribution to malnourished children and individuals in nearly 70 countries worldwide.

The Christian nonprofit organization Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) emphasizes the critical need for such efforts, noting that hunger contributes to nearly half of the deaths of children under five years old globally. According to FMSC, at least 6,200 children die each day from causes linked to undernutrition. The meals packed during the event aim to provide life-saving nutrition to those in need.

Ryan Knott, event supervisor for the Green Bay MobilePack, highlighted the significance of the work. “1,789 will have a daily meal for an entire year, thanks to the work we do here,” he said. “I definitely don’t take it for granted. This work is really, really special to me and all my coworkers.”

The event underscores the importance of community involvement in addressing global hunger. Volunteers from the local area came together to support a cause that extends far beyond their immediate surroundings. The Green Bay Community Church served as the central hub for this effort, demonstrating how faith-based organizations can mobilize resources and people to serve those in need.

The meals packed during the MobilePack will be distributed to children and families facing food insecurity in various regions. This initiative reflects a commitment to practical neighbor-love and mercy work, aligning with the Christian call to care for the vulnerable. The event also serves as a reminder of the ongoing global challenge of hunger and the need for sustained efforts to combat it.

Those interested in participating in future packing sessions can find open slots through FMSC’s website. The organization continues to seek volunteers who are willing to contribute their time and energy to this vital mission. The Green Bay MobilePack exemplifies how local action can have a global impact, offering hope and nourishment to those who need it most.
