Feed My Starving Children Will Collect In Berlin

Over 3 days, August 25 to August 28, over 1,000 community volunteers from 40 organizations, businesses and churches will volunteer two-hour shifts to hand pack sustenance meals at the Central Connecticut Feed My Starving Children (fmsc.org) MobilePack event to be held at the CL&P warehouse in Berlin.

For the second consecutive year, an entire shipping container of 272,000 meals of rice, soy and vitamins will be sent to the children of Swaziland, Africa.

Organizers must pay for the food costs and supply volunteer labor to pack meals. The food is free to the recipient, they pay only the shipping costs. Each meal costs $0.19 putting the target goal at over $51,000 by 12/31/11.

Volunteer spots are nearly full. Email CentralCTFMSC@comcast.net for info. 

Donations can be made at https://www.fmsc.org/SSLPage.aspx?pid=447&event=1108-53 or you can text  “iPack” to 50555 for a donation of $10.

Organizers are working toward the FMSC (of MN) stated goal of bringing a permanent warehouse to CT so that they can pack meals year-round.
