When Thanksgiving comes this  year, will your company or organization have done something special to give back?

Here’s your chance.

During the week of November 16, more then 2,500 volunteers in the Sacramento area will work to pack more than 500,000 meals for malnourished children around the world. The “MobilePack” is an effort under the auspices of Feed My Starving Children, a Minnesota-based non-profit that ships more than 100 million meals to feed children every year.

Want to help?

This community-driven effort is in need of funds to pay for the meals – 24 cents per meal – and volunteers. For businesses, this is a great opportunity to sponsor a grass-roots event and to have employees pack the meals – shifts will occur from early in the morning until the evening over a four-day period.
