Get the volunteer shift you want for yourself, your family, or group by signing up TODAY.

You can register yourself or a group for one or more packing shifts (Fri Oct 17 at 7:30pm; Sat Oct 18 at 9am or Noon). You can also register to help set up Friday afternoon or take down/clean up on Saturday afternoon or register for a packing session and set up or take down!. Register for any of these opportunities at the link below.

We also need a few strong backs to help move the tables and flooring Friday midday and return them following the pack on Saturday. If you are interested in this opportunity, contact Fred directly (802-777-8349 or [email protected]).

Remember:
- Have an impact HERE AND THERE: Bring non-perishable food items to the MobilePack for the local food shelf.
- Register to volunteer today: for one or more fast paced, fun-filled two-hour packing shifts with a purpose!
- Register a group: Have fun competing with the table next to you for most meals packed! Friendly competition is encouraged.
- Forgot to register? Come anyway! We strongly encourage registration so you receive important information, but if you find yourself needing purpose on Oct 17 (7:30pm) or Oct 18 (9 am or Noon), come on over to AD Lawton.
- Help purchase the food we'll pack together: With your support, With Love from Vermont is responsible for securing the rice, soy, vitamins, and veggies we'll pack at the MobilePack. Please consider a contribution today. Each meal costs less than $0.30, so any donation will help. Here are some goals:
- $63 buys a case of 36 ManaPacks (216 meals)
- $106 feeds one child one meal per day for a year
- $500 feeds almost 5 kids one meal per day for a year

Thanks again for donating, volunteering, and/or supporting the 2024 Feed My Starving Children MobilePack hosted by With Love From Vermont!

Together we packed 101,088 meals to feed 276 children for a year!

This year, the food from our MobilePack is going to children in Guatemala through FMSC trusted partner Cross Catholic Outreach (CCO). In the last three years, CCO has received over 60 million MannaPack Rice meals and distributed them in 15 different countries. You can learn more about this very active mission partner here: https://crosscatholic.org/what-we-do/

We look forward to partnering with you again in 2025. Please like us on Facebook to learn about FUNdraising events in 2025 and details on the 2025 MobilePack.

We wish you all a joyous celebration of our Savior's birth and a blessed New Year!

The With Love From Vermont team said farewell to the wonderful Feed My Starving Children staff that joined us last weekend, waved goodbye to Rosario and the trailer full of the meals we packed, returned all the tables, and has taken some time to rest and thank the Lord for His faithfulness. Now we want to take some time to thank all the volunteers, donors, churches, organizations, and businesses for a successful 10th FMSC MobilePack hosted by With Love From Vermont.

Although we were a little short on volunteers this year, the generosity of our donors means that we exceeded our fundraising goal. So not only will our target number of meals still be sent to feed children in body and spirit, but we will also have seed funds toward our 2025 MobilePack.

Meals provided: 2024: 101,088; Total: 1.6 million
Kids fed for a year: 2024: 276; Total: 4,243
Plus, several hundred pounds of non-perishable food goods were donated to the local food shelf in 2024. Several tons over the years

We will find out soon where the meals packed this year will be sent. As soon as FMSC provides that information, we will pass it along.

Once again, thanks to all the donors and volunteers that made the 2024 MobilePack a success. We cannot do this without you!

The 2024 MobilePack is just 27 days away!

What do you need to do to ensure that together we can continue to feed God's children in body and soul?

- Register to Volunteer before all the spots are filled! See below for the MobilePack schedule and think about volunteering for the set up and/or take down session AND a packing session. You can register yourself, your family, a work group, a youth group, or your whole church family! If you do register a group, we ask that you provide individual names and emails prior to the MobilPack. For assistance with volunteer registration, contact Ray Bulaga ([email protected]).

- Make a Donation: With Love From Vermont must purchase the food that we will pack. At only $0.29 per meal our goal is $30,000 for the 100,000 meals we'll pack together.

- Organize a fundraiser: This can be as simple as having your kids put a quarter in a jar each dinnertime or get some M&M tubes (kids can eat the M&Ms and fill tubes with quarters). Or, hold a bake sale! If you need materials or info, contact Fred Kenney ([email protected])

- Like and Share With Love From Vermont on Facebook.

- Set aside some non-perishable goods to bring to the MobilePack: As in past years, we will be helping Here and There by sending 100,000 meals to starving children overseas and providing non-perishable food goods to local families through a food shelf.

Volunteer registration for the 2024 Feed My Starving Children MobilePack hosted by With Love From Vermont is now OPEN!

The MobilePack is on Friday October 18 and Saturday October 19 at the AD Lawton Intermediate School, 104 Maple Street, Essex Junction, VT.

The rules around school building use have changed. Our time in the school is compacted, so the set-up, packing, and clean up schedules have changed. And we'll need sharp, strong crews to get set up on Friday and cleaned out on Saturday within the time limits. So, if you can, sign up to volunteer to set up AND pack on Friday and/or pack AND clean up on Saturday. We are very grateful to the school district staff for working with us to make our 10th MobilePack possible.

The Schedule:
Friday, October 18:
5-6 pm: Unload Truck
6-8 pm: Set up
8:30-9 pm: Packing Session #1
Saturday, October 19:
8:30-10:45 am: Packing Session #2
11:45 am-2pm: Packing Session #3
2-5 pm: Take Down and Clean up

We are about halfway to our fundraising goal for this year. We need $30,000 to pack 101,088 meals to feed 277 children for a year. Remember, WLFV has to purchase the food we'll pack together in October.
