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 25-28, 2025, at the New York National Guard Armory on 1765 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.
