Volunteers To Pack 400,000 Meals for Malnourished Children
15th Annual Placer Feed My Starving Children MobilePack To Be Held Oct. 16-18
Moseley Collins Law Firm Sponsoring 150,000 Meals
ROCKLIN – Thousands of volunteers are expected to pack 400,000 meals for malnourished children around the world this October as part of the 15th annual Placer Feed My Starving Children MobilePack.
The MobilePack’s biggest supporter, the Moseley Collins Law Firm, is sponsoring 150,000 meals this year – brining its 8-year total to 1 million meals sponsored.
“Every day, the world loses so many children to starvation,” said Moseley Collins, a local attorney and pastor who has been sponsoring meals since 2016. “It is our responsibility to do all we can to alleviate the suffering. We are honored to partner with local volunteers to deliver life-saving meals and make a real difference in the fight against hunger.”
Volunteers will pack meals in two-hour shifts during three days from Oct. 16-18 at the MobilePack, which will be held at St. Matthew Lutheran Church, 3785 Placer Corporate Drive in Rocklin.
“We greatly appreciate the support Moseley Collins has consistently provided, helping to make our MobilePack possible,” said Bill Halldin, Chair of the 15th Annual MobilePack. “His commitment has now reached 1 million meals – an incredible blessing to children in need.”
The all-volunteer group organizing the MobilePack is currently seeking additional sponsorships to help pay for all the meals that will be packed this year. Sponsorship packages are available at this link.
Community members can support this MobilePack by making a donation to cover meal costs or by volunteering to package food at the event. Each meal costs just 29 cents. The total event cost is more than $120,000 and the fundraising goal has not yet been met.
