Hinsdale Central to Host Feed My Starving Children MobilePack Event

Submitted by Hinsdale Township High School District 86.

Hinsdale, IL - Hinsdale Central High School will host a Feed My Starving Children MobilePack event at the Field House on Sunday, Feb. 28, from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Hinsdale Central’s Student Council has been working hard since May 2015 raising $22,000 in funds to cover the cost of the food that will be packed by over 600 volunteers. The group has committed to preparing 100,000 meals that will be sent to needy children around the world.

“Student council wanted to do a big project,” emphasized Sally Phillip, Hinsdale Central director of Student Activities, “They wanted an event that would include a lot of people, and to unite the community around a project that would have a big impact. Many of our students had previously been involved with Feed My Starving Children by going there so we thought it would be a great experience to host it here.”

Phillip continued, “We have held so many activities leading up to this event, fundraisers, candy sales, soliciting donations, our drive to raise $2,000 in one day, so on Sunday our focus will be completely on food packing. There is tremendous support for the event with clubs, teams, students, staff, girl scouts, boy scouts, families, businesses and more packing on Sunday.”

Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit organization sends volunteer-packed meals to nearly 70 countries, where they are used to feed hungry children at orphanages, schools and clinics. Groups in more than 35 states have hosted food-packing events to foster teamwork while making a difference in the fight to prevent and reverse malnutrition.
