Join Us to Pack 100,000 Meals for Children Around the World!
On Saturday, October 10th, Westgate Church, and Chinese Church in Christ San Jose are partnering to host a community-wide meal packing event - and you're invited!
Our goal is to pack 100,000 nutritious meals for children facing hunger in developing countries. These meals will be distributed through schools, orphanages, churches, and feeding centers supported by the Christian nonprofit Kids Around the World (KATW).
Together, we'll help provide meals for children in:
Dominican Republic
Ecuador
Uganda
Panama
South Sudan
Philippines
Enjoy music, friendly competitions, snacks, and a festive atmosphere while serving alongside friends, family, and neighbors.
Registration
Registration begins September 14. Please stay tuned.
A Fun Event for the Whole Family
This is a family-friendly event where people of all ages can make a meaningful difference together.
Two 2-hour shifts
150 volunteers needed per shift
No experience or special skills required
Ages 7 and up can help pack meals
Younger children are welcome to decorate the meal boxes with encouraging artwork and messages
How It Works
Volunteers work in teams of 10 at each packing table. Every table has a trained captain who will provide simple instructions and guide the team throughout the event. Everything will be set up and ready when you arrive - just come ready to serve and have fun!
Imagine the excitement of watching 50,000 meals come together in just two hours. By the end of the day, we'll have packed 100,000 meals that will bring hope and nourishment to children around the world.
Whether you come with your family, friends, small group, or coworkers - or simply come on your own - you'll be part of something truly impactful.
Join us and help turn just two hours into a fun and wonderful way to provide nutritious meals for kids that really need it. Register today!
Parking
The event is taking place at CCIC San Jose at 1490 Saratoga Ave. Please allocate 10 minutes to find parking in case CCIC parking becomes full. Parking is limited to 60 spots at CCIC, so carpooling to relieve parking congestion is recommended. Parking next to US Bank, except in marked off spots, is available, as well as nearby street parking. A large lot at Pinn Brothers/California Retina Institute, across the street from CCIC, at 1475 Saratoga Ave, provides another 100 parking spots. If parking at Pinn Brothers/California Retina Institute, you must walk south to Graves Ave (where Rotten Robbie Gas station is) and cross Saratoga Ave, and then walk one block to CCIC. This will take 10 minutes. See the map below.
