Incarnation has hosted over 27,000 volunteers over 12 All Hands on Hope Feed My Starving Children MobilePack™ events resulting in almost 7.5 million total meals packed over those events. Since the first packing session in 2007, Incarnation and the surrounding community looks forward to this meaningful and impactful tradition every spring.
2020 All Hands on Hope MobilePack™
Incarnation is preparing for the 2020 All Hands on Hope Feed My Starving Children MobilePack, May 4 – 8, when together with Roseville Lutheran Church and the wider community, we will pack 1,023,000 meals to feed 2802 of God’s beloved children for a year! Are you wondering why such a strange number of meals? Here’s why: Incarnation has made a commitment to finance and pack an additional container of 273,000 meals each year for the next three years, in support of a new Project Based Food Assistance initiative for the community of Te Wouj, Haiti. In 2020, this additional 273,000 meals will be added to the 750,000 meal commitment.
It’s a big commitment and with God’s work in and through all of us, we know it can be done. Be thinking about who you want to invite to pack with you this year. Packing registrations will open on Ash Wednesday, February 26, 2020.
