Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is a Christian organization founded in 1987. Through MobilePack events, FMSC is able to partner with local community organizations to send healthy, safe meals to malnourished children around the world. Thanks to volunteers packing and covering the expense of the meals, each meal costs only 29 cents to produce. Since 1987, FMSC has distributed more than 2 billion meals in nearly 70 countries.

The 9th Lancaster County Feed My Starving Children MobilePack will take place Friday-Sunday, April 5-7, 2024 at Willow Street Mennonite Church, Willow Street, PA. 1,500 volunteers will pack 300,000 meals to help alleviate world hunger! To date, our meals have gone to Somalia, Haiti, Belize, Dominican Republic, Malawi, Uganda, Jamaica and Poland. Working together over the last 8 events, more than 8,700 volunteers from our community have come together to send more than 2 million meals to those most in need around the world!

If you are age 5-105, WE NEED YOU!!!!!

How does it work? 1,500 volunteers work during 2 hour shifts to pack 300,000 meals in 3 days. The volunteers come from churches, schools, businesses, friends, relatives, co-workers and anyone else who would like to participate. It is an awesome opportunity for families and friends to volunteer and spend time together for a great cause!

Can anyone do it? For safety and efficiency, required student-to-adult ratios are put in place:

K-2nd grade 1 student to 1 adult
3rd-6th grade 3 students to 1 adult
7th-9th grade 4 students to 1 adult
10th-12th grade 5 students to 1 adult

Sit down jobs are available as needed.

Volunteer action is needed!

In preparing for upcoming French student exchange programs one of the most important part of the program are the host families. We are still in need of host families for the upcoming group, February 21-29th. They are combined in York & Lancaster Counties.

A brief overview:
We have daily weekday activities as a group and host families are welcome to join us (School visit, Lancaster Amish, DC, Shopping…) The students are 13-14 yrs. old, Academically equivalent to our 8-9th grades. This group can have one or two students per host family. They follow your family routine. We work around your schedule and transportation needs.
