Nearly 10 million meals packed during FargoPack

FARGO - Feed My Starving Children FargoPack wrapped up Sunday after packing nearly 10 million meals for hungry and starving children. Volunteers packed 9,712,224 meals, setting a record for most meals packed over the past 10-years. That will feed 26,608 kids every day for a year.

Organizers thanked the community, local schools, universities, businesses and churches across the state for helping out during the 10 day event. 

Dave Gunnlaugsson, Feed My Starving Children MobilePack regional development advisor for FargoPack reminded everyone who volunteered, "we set out on a goal to feed 27,000 people hungry in body and spirit and that's what was done, while the 10 million meal goal wasn't fully reached, the Red River Valley had over 27,000 people come out over these 10 days to help feed kids, families and communities around the world."
