Feed My Starving Children’s Mission
Feeding God’s starving children hungry in body and spirit.
2024 FMSC MobilePack in Green Bay Success!
What a week it was! It’s hard to believe that the 2024 Feed My Starving Children Green Bay MobilePack is already over. We are beyond thrilled to share that 520,992 meals were packed at Green Bay Community Church, which will feed 1,427 kids for an entire year!
To make this possible, 2,797 volunteers worked side-by-side in various roles and capacities; all with one singular goal – feeding God’s starving children, in both body and spirit. We had 34 members from our congregation who helped with packing which included 8 of our youth. If you were able to be there, we hope you had a wonderful time and that you come back and volunteer again with us next year.
“Blessed are those who are generous for they feed the poor.” Proverbs 22:9

How We Help
First Presbyterian Church of Green Bay is proud to have partnered with Feed My Starving Children since 2013.
Every year, millions of children die from preventable causes such as pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria and undernutrition. Hunger is still causing nearly half of deaths in children under 5 years old. From this data, Feed My Starving Children estimates at least 6,200 children die each day from causes related to undernutrition. This is heartbreaking.
Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) believes hope starts with food. As a Christian nonprofit, FMSC is dedicated to seeing every child whole in body and spirit. FMSC meals are developed by food science and nutrition professionals to supplement nutritional needs and reduce problems with malnutrition. Nutrition allows children to grow, thrive and develop to their full potential.
Our First Presbyterian Church of Green Bay youth ministry volunteers have a one-of-a-kind experience each year. They hand-pack rice, soy, dried vegetables and a nutritionally complete blend of vitamins and minerals into bags which are then sealed, boxed, placed on pallets and shipped to FMSC partners who work hard to reach the neediest children around the world.
Our adult and youth volunteers have the chance to impact hundreds of kids in just two hours per packing shift. They experience what it’s like to make a tangible difference today.
