Warsaw Community Schools is proud to announce its continued partnership with the Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) Warsaw MobilePack Committee for the 7th Community-Wide Event set to take place October 21-24 at the Warsaw Community High School TRAC (Tiger Recreational Activity Center). This year’s theme, Hunger Heroes, calls on the Warsaw community to come together and pack over 1 million MannaPack meals.
Megan Stone, chair of the Feed My Starving Children MobilePack event, presented at the September combined school board meeting. She highlighted Warsaw Schools’ commitment, with over 2,000 students participating in this hands-on service event. Nearly 5,000 volunteers from across the community will work in teams, scooping, measuring and packing nutritious meals that will be sent to FMSC partners around the world.
Each meal costs only 29 cents, and $106 can provide a child with a meal every day for an entire year. Community members can register, make donations, or purchase Hunger Heroes t-shirts at warsawmobilepack.com. Each school is currently fundraising to send students to the event and individuals can donate directly to the schools’ online fundraising team.
“Together, we are Hunger Heroes,” Megan shared with the board. “We look forward to coming together on October 21-24 to enrich the lives of others and make a difference by feeding bodies, feeding spirits and empowering communities.”
