FMSC Hunger Bulletin | October 2025

Each meal you pack, fund and pray over equips FMSC partners to do transformative work around the world. Hunger relief is usually just part of what our partners do — but food is the foundation for so much more.

A TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION IN JAMAICA

Hurricane Melissa, a record-breaking Category 5 storm, slammed Jamaica this week. Homes are gone, crops are ruined and families now face the long, hungry weeks and months to follow. FMSC meals are on the ground with trusted partners — but there is a long road ahead.

Your gift today will help send meals to Jamaica and other communities in crisis. Fund emergency meals now.

When hurricanes hit, hunger follows. Food systems break down in an instant — fields flood, livestock is lost and small shops close. Prices rise fast. Families already living at the edge have no way to replace what was destroyed.

Even before Hurricane Melissa, many Jamaican families were already struggling under high food costs and shrinking incomes. Now, with farms wiped out and recovery expected to take months, thousands more are at risk of going hungry.

In disasters like this, food is not only relief — it is what makes recovery possible.

FMSC food on the ground make immediate help possible while longer-term recovery begins. Our partners use MannaPack® meals to:

  • sustain families in areas cut off by damage and road closures until access is restored
  • support children while schools and feeding programs are disrupted
  • stabilize households so they can focus on rebuilding, not on finding their next meal
