Feed the Need 2025

Let's Feed the Need Together!

Our world faces the greatest hunger crisis of our lifetime. Join us to pack food, give hope, and save lives as we partner with FMSC and our community to provide 800,000 meals during Feed The Need 2025!

As a premier sponsor of this community event, Good Shepherd's goal is to provide 600 volunteers over 5 packing sessions. Invite your family, friends, and small groups to help us reach this goal! It's fun with a purpose.

Additional Serving Opportunities

Supporting Roles

We need Greeters, Registration Assistants, and Ambassadors who all play a vital role in making the packing shifts run smoothly.

Please consider arriving one hour before your packing shift to help greet people, get them registered, or direct them to their seats.

Hospitality Donations

Throughout Feed the Need weekend there will be 75-80 FMSC Staff members and full-day volunteers on site making Feed the Need happen.

Our Hospitality team works behind the scenes to help feed this dedicated crew putting in very long days onsite. Food donations are needed to help prepare all the meals and could use your help to provide.
