Providing nourishing meals to children around the world

Unlike a standard meal packing session, Holiday Pack & Pledge is both funded and packed by the volunteers who attend. The impact you make is already in motion before the first scoop.

Join us at your local site on Thanksgiving, a Sunday in December or on Christmas Eve, for one of these meaningful and special sessions. Sign up below

How does a Pack & Pledge event differ from regular packing sessions at FMSC?

Typical sessions include an option for volunteers to donate, but the meals are funded primarily by donors who are not in the room that day. Pack & Pledge events are held at select times of the year, and participants themselves fully fund the meals they pack.

Each participant donates the cost of the box they will pack: $63 per person or $189 per household*

Why should families and groups participate?

When generosity leads, kids eat — and you leave knowing exactly how your time at FMSC mattered.

Pack & Pledge events allow individuals and groups to multiply their impact by both funding and packing, making it possible for FMSC to provide even more meals and food partners to feed even more kids.

* FMSC packing sessions do not usually require a donation, but several times a year we offer sessions that are fully funded by the volunteers attending. If a financial contribution is not possible, we’d still love for you to volunteer at a regular packing session
Household refers to members of the same family living under one roof.

Thank you for volunteering to pack with us. To ensure the safety of our volunteers, staff and the food we pack, please do not come to volunteer if you have any new or unexplained symptoms indicative of contagious illness or food-borne diseases. Click here for a list of symptoms
