2023 Fall Public Packing Event

« All Events

September 9, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am

Free

Hey all you Hope Heroes!!  It’s time to get together again to pack meals for the hungry, specifically to feed the refugees coming out of the Ukraine and those devastated by the earthquakes in Hungry and Syria. Are you in?!?  Let’s do this!!

We’ll be packing meals on Saturday, September 9th, 2023, from 9:00 until 11:00 AM at The Ash Center (Academy of Sports & Health Center) located at 1701 Freeman St, Fort Wayne, IN. Look for Door #4, the entrance to the basketball court off Freeman St.

Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to allow for the check-in process.

Take advantage of a MATCHING GRANT opportunity! While we do not charge a fee to be involved in our Public Packing events, we appreciate donations to further our work to end world hunger.  Ideally, we’d like each person or family to cover the cost of one carton of meals. AND…we just were awarded a matching donation grant from our soy producer ADM so, your donation will DOUBLE!

Just one carton of meals that you will pack feeds 216 children and costs just $65.  That’s a mere $.30 per meal!  What can we do without once or twice that will equal 216 meals?  Feel free to donate as many boxes as you’d like to feed those who have so little.

We are looking forward to seeing you and partnering with you to feed the hungry!
