Ithaca congregations work together to host a multi-day MobilePack event each fall for Feed My Starving Children (FMSC), a nonprofit organization that packs and ships meals to distribution partners worldwide. This year's pack will take place September 28–October 1, 2023, at the New York National Guard Armory on Hanshaw Road in Ithaca. Volunteers hand-pack nutritious MannaPack meals specifically designed to reverse malnutrition, then FMSC distributes them around the world to people in dire need. Volunteers of all ages pack the food in two-hour shifts over a weekend. It's the most fun you can have in a hairnet! For more information, see the Ithaca MobilePack website at ithacamobilepack.org.
