All Hands on Hope MobilePack™, Updated March 2021
Incarnation is pleased to announce that our 2021 All Hands on Hope MobilePack Event is scheduled for the last weekend of October 2021 at Incarnation! Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is rolling out new plans for MobilePacks in 2021 which will implement new configurations to ensure all pandemic safety protocols are followed. While much planning needs to be done for this event, we invite you to save the date and watch for more information to come.
Until that time, consider packing in either or both of the following opportunities:
- Register to pack as a part of the FMSC MobilePack Trial Event hosted at Incarnation, April 22 – 24, 2021
- Register to pack at one of the FMSC permantent sites .
FMSC has adjusted processes and practices with COVID-19 in mind, allowing volunteers to pack while keeping everyone safe. Packing stations accommodate up to five volunteers who will not be socially distanced so sign up with people with whom you are comfortable being physically close. Watch this video to get a sense of what to expect when you pack at a permanent site now.
What can you do now? Pray and Financially Support All Hands on Hope Today!
Your prayers for the recipients of Feed My Starving Children meals, the FMSC partners across the world and our friends at FMSC, are extremely important. Very difficult decisions continue to be made daily and God’s wisdom is needed as we serve God’s children near and far.
Also, the money to pay for food packed is extremely important, now more than ever; for every meal packed, more than .24 needs to be raised to pay for the ingredients we will pack together. Make a donation in any of the following ways:
- Make an online donation to the 2021 FMSC MobilePack™ via Incarnation’s Secured Online Donation and Giving site.
- Make a check out to Incarnation with “FMSC MobilePack” in the memo and mail it to Incarnation at 4880 Hodgson Road, Shoreview, MN 55126.
- Make a donation to Incarnation’s 2021 All Hands on Hope MobilePack™ via the Feed My Starving Children site.
- If you’re a Thrivent member, you may apply for a Thrivent Action Team grant of $250, which can be applied to payment for the food packed. Upon receipt of your Action Team card, mail it to the Incarnation Office attention Becky Benson.
- Your employer might double or triple your giving! A list of companies that provide matching programs can be found here. Consider applying for a match once a 2021 MobilePack Event number is known, so that funds may be directed appropriately.
