Greenwich’s Christ Church is seeking volunteers for an emergency International Food Relief “Packathon” on Sunday, November 10, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm at Christ Church Greenwich Parish Hall.
Volunteers are needed to sort, measure, and pack 20,000 meals to be shipped to feed people in need.
During a two-and-a-half-hour shift, teams of volunteers assemble complete nutritious ingredients.
Volunteers weigh the packages, seal them, and box them for distribution. This is a simple, organized, and cost-effective way to feed international children and families in crisis who are without housing and sources of food right now.

All ages are welcome to volunteer. This is an ideal opportunity for participation from both individuals and families. People have been asking how they can help, as they watch the news and witness people suffering.
Some people like to respond in hands-on ways by getting supplies to the people who need them. Let’s roll up our sleeves and work together.

Christ Church is a lively community of faith composed of people with diverse backgrounds, circumstances, and spiritual journeys, bound together by God’s love for all people everywhere and united in the common mission to seek and serve God in all persons. We fulfill this work through the dedicated ministries of over 300 volunteers annually, who serve on more than 40 commissions, committees, guilds, and task forces. In addition, the church hosts and supports more than 20 community meetings per week including 12-step programs, choral and music groups, neighborhood groups, and children’s programs. The Christ Church Preschool is a regional leader in early education, and our bookstore, Dogwood Gifts and Books, is a thriving resource of both faith-based and secular books. Their 40-year partnership with Neighbor to Neighbor allows them to serve those in Greenwich in need of food.
The Mission of Christ Church Greenwich is to be a vibrant Episcopal community proclaiming God’s love for every human being, no exceptions. Following Jesus’ teachings is their compass for personal growth, community outreach and harmonious living. Its vision is to seek and serve God in all people through inspiration from the Bible, worship, community outreach, music, and art in our sacred historic home.
