Please join us for our annual Stilwell Community Food Packing Event!


Our annual Food Packing Event will be Saturday, March 28, 2026 in the Fellowship Hall of Stilwell UMC, starting at 10:00am and will last about an hour and a half (maybe a little longer).


This year, our meals will go to Union Rescue Mission in Witchita, which provides help for individuals and families who are struggling to make ends meet. We plan to pack 15,000 meals and will need at least 70 volunteers to make this happen!


Volunteers measure the ingredients (scooping them into meal bags), check the weight of the bags, seal them, and pack up the finished product. Boxes are then loaded up to take our food down to Witchita.


To pay for the meals we will be preparing, we need to raise $6,000. Any financial support you can provide is also a blessing to those who are in need. If you or your group feels so moved to contribute, you can DONATE HERE!


Individuals, neighbors, families, friends, or other groups can volunteer to help by signing up below.


On packing day, we need the following types of workers:

  • Team/Station Leaders (one for each of the 6-7 teams/stations planned) - this position needs to arrive downstairs no later than 8:30am to be briefed on team tasks and help set up stations.
  • Packers (8-10 per Team/Station) - some packing positions can be seated. We ask packers to arrive upstairs no later than 9:45am. There is no age limit to be a Packer. We have had children start as Packers and end up in our child care area – the room will be right off the packing area.
  • Product Runners (4-6 needed) – this position needs to arrive downstairs by 8:30am to help set up stations & requires lifting heavy boxes & bags
  • Greeters (2 Total) – this position needs to arrive upstairs by 9:15am to pass out disposable gloves, aprons & hairnets, and then can join a packing team
