What to expect when you volunteer at FMSC

Looking to make a real difference in just a couple of hours? Volunteering at FMSC Richardson is more than just a good deed — it’s a hands-on, heart-filling experience that lets you be part of something much bigger than yourself.

A one-of-a-kind volunteer experience

At FMSC Richardson, you’re not just showing up — you’re stepping into a powerful mission. Volunteers play a critical role in hand-packing lifechanging meals that are shipped across the globe to children facing hunger. During your shift, you’ll work alongside individuals, families, teams and community groups to pack meals that include:

  • Rice
  • Soy
  • Dried vegetables
  • A nutritionally complete blend of vitamins and minerals

Every bag you fill is sealed, boxed, placed on pallets and prepared for shipment to trusted food distribution partners around the world. These meals are designed to meet the needs of malnourished children and are often the difference between suffering and survival.

Make a big impact in just one shift

One of the most rewarding parts of volunteering at FMSC is how immediate and tangible your impact feels. In just one packing shift, you and your fellow volunteers can help produce enough meals to feed hundreds of children. You’ll leave with tired hands and a full heart, knowing you’ve directly contributed to the fight against global hunger.

More than a volunteer shift — it’s a movement

Volunteering at FMSC isn’t just about packing food — it’s about connection, compassion and hope. It’s a chance to come together with others in your community for a shared purpose. Whether you’re volunteering for the first time or returning with your workplace, church group or family, you’ll find the energy in the room is contagious. Music pumps through the speakers, teams cheer as they hit milestones and the atmosphere is electric with purpose.
