Our volunteers are incredible people who share our mission to feed God’s starving children hungry in body and spirit.

Last year, 1.2 Million volunteers came together to pack lifesaving meals at Feed My Starving Children permanent sites and MobilePack events.

What you do makes a difference. We need you more than ever as conflicts and natural disasters continue to wreak havoc in the lives of children around the world.

And we are so grateful for the time you take to put on a hairnet and say, “Yes, every child deserves to be fed.”
