On September 13, 2025, we volunteered at Feed My Starving Children (FMSC), a Christian nonprofit dedicated to ending world hunger. The event began at 7:15 PM.
During the session, we packed MannaPack Rice, a specially designed meal to combat malnutrition that contains four essential components: vitamins, vegetables, soy, and rice. Volunteers were assigned different roles—labeling, packaging, sealing, and working in the warehouse—with clear instructions provided for each step. To keep the energy high, music played throughout the evening, and groups competed in friendly challenges to see who could pack the most boxes. Our team worked together at Table 2.
After about an hour and 45 minutes of packing, we transitioned to cleanup. By the end of the evening, we had packed 67 boxes, which equates to 14,904 meals—enough to feed 40 children for an entire year.
The experience was both meaningful and enjoyable, blending teamwork, service, and a shared commitment to fighting hunger.
