📅 Saturday, November 21, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM–12:00 PM
📍 OLQA Parish Hall | Newport Beach, California

This Thanksgiving, don't just count your blessings—put your blessings into action!

While many of us gather around tables filled with food, millions of children and families around the world struggle with hunger. This Thanksgiving, you can help change that.

Join Feed the Hungry for an inspiring morning of faith, service, and community as we unite to pack 50,000 meals for children and families in Uganda and Panama!

Bring your family, invite your friends, gather your classmates, or come serve alongside fellow community members. Every pair of helping hands brings us one step closer to our goal.

Every meal matters. Every volunteer counts. Together, we can make a difference!

This is more than a volunteer event. It's an opportunity to put gratitude into action, teach our children the joy of serving others, and bring hope to families who need it most.

Here's how you can make an impact:

• 🙌 REGISTER & VOLUNTEER: Sign up, show up, and help us pack meals that will nourish children and families facing hunger.
• ❤️ DONATE: Every contribution helps fund the ingredients, supplies, and resources needed to make this mission possible.
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 BRING YOUR PEOPLE: Invite your family, friends, school groups, coworkers, and parish community to serve alongside you.
• 📣 SPREAD THE WORD: Share this event and help us rally the community behind our goal of 50,000 meals.

At Feed the Hungry, we believe serving those in need is a powerful way to live our faith. We begin our packing parties with prayer, remembering Christ's call to feed the hungry and care for our neighbors.

Through the generosity of our donors and the dedication of our volunteers, we turn compassion into action—one meal at a time. In partnership with Kids Around the World (KATW), meals help reach communities where food insecurity is a daily challenge.

For more than a decade, our mission has brought people together to help feed children and families around the world. Now, we invite YOU to be part of the next chapter.
