Ithaca Mobile Pack

HELP OTHERS

BY GIVING

Every person whose life is improved or saved,
stems from an act of generosity that’s purely voluntary.
That’s why donating is so extraordinary when you do it.

Set to Eclipse 4 Million Meals Packed

Be part of an exciting year at the Ithaca MobilePack! Together as a community we have been at this work for over a decade. And because of interest in efforts of people like you we have been able to pack close to 4 million meals.

September 25 – 28, 2025 we are set to pack 248,000 meals; an amount that would put us over the 4 millionth meal packed by fellow Ithacans! The pack will be held at the New York National Guard Armory located just south of Route 13 on Hanshaw Rd.

What's a MannaPack?

A MannaPack is an effective and nutritious meal formula comprised of Rice, Soy,Vitamins, and Veggies. Each package feeds a child for a day. FMSC meals are developed by food science and nutrition professionals to supplement nutritional needs and reduce problems with malnutrition. Nutrition allows children to grow, thrive and develop to their full potential. $.29 pays for one MannaPack meal.

Beyond the Plate

The seventh Beyond the Plate fundraiser in support of the Ithaca MobilePack for Feed My Starving Children took place on March 2nd at St. Catherine of Siena Parish Hall with 120 guests in attendance. We are still finalizing the numbers but expect the net proceeds to be $25,000 - close to one-third of the funds needed to pay for the 2025 Ithaca MobilePack! We are grateful to the chefs who gave their time and expertise: Rick Ciaschi (Adam’s Corner Cafe), Jay Dietershagen (Crossroads Bar & Grille), Sam Epps (Gola Osteria), Jen Irwin & Stan Walton (here.) and Rob McCloskey (Serendipity Catering & Bar), and a welcome drink prepared by Sam Holzbauer (Serendipity Catering & Bar); the generous sponsors (listed below); Alan Danielson (Triphammer Wine & Spirits) for the wine pairings; and Emcee Ann Marie Eckert.
