Founded in 1987, Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is a Christian non-profit that provides nutritionally complete meals specifically formulated for malnourished children. Donations fund the meal ingredients. Volunteers hand-pack the meals. Meals are donated to FMSC food partners around the world, where kids are fed and lives are saved!
Is God calling you to feed the hungry? Answer His call.
All Hands on Hope MobilePackTM
For five days in April, Incarnation hosted more than 2,200 volunteers during our All Hands on HopeMobilePackTM. During that time, we achieved our goal of packing 614,304 meals to feed 1,683 of God’s hungry kids one meal per day for a year. We also had a goal of raising $180,000 to pay for the meals we packed.
Please visit our event web page to get more details on the MobilePack results and future events.

Our Ministry Partnership with Feed My Starving Children
In 2007, Incarnation hosted its first Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) MobilePack™. Since the first packing session, we knew this was going to become a meaningful tradition we wanted to make into an annual commitment to Feed My Starving Children. Six years later in 2013, FMSC became a formal ministry partner.
Over the years those of Incarnation and their friends have come together on a monthly basis to pack meals at FMSC’s local packing sites. Incarnation has also hosted over 31,000 volunteers over 17 All Hands on Hope MobilePacks resulting in over 9.2 million total meals being packed, feeding 25,423 children a meal per day for an entire year! And, hunger advocates within our community have traveled on five mission trips with FMSC to witness and serve meals packed to those most in need.
With God’s blessing, the congregation of Incarnation is living into its mission, Filled by God’s grace, we feed the hungry in heart, body, mind and spirit, through FMSC’s well-established meal-packing and distribution infrastructure for providing life-saving meals to people who need them all over the world.
