Feed the Funnel

Feed the Funnel – Thursday, June 19, 1-3 pm

Let me begin with a simple, painful truth: hungry kids don’t read. They don’t focus in school. They don’t grow up to reach their full potential. Right now — in and around Chillicothe — that’s the reality for too many children.

We’re bringing Feed the Funnel (thepackshack.org) to Chillicothe– a high-energy, community-powered event where we’ll come together to pack thousands of healthy, shelf-stable meals for local families who desperately need them. Hosted by the Lillian DesMarias Youth Library on June 19th at 1 p.m., this is our chance to fight hunger with our hands and our hearts.

So I ask you: Will you help us feed the funnel? Will you help us feed hope? Let me tell you the best part: every meal costs only 37 cents. That means:

  • A donation of $37 packs 100 meals.
  • $185 provides 500 meals.
  • $370 delivers 1,000 meals to families right here in our community.
  • Know that 100% of your dollars go straight to making meals that feed Livingston County families.

Additionally, we are asking you to sign up to volunteer as part of our meal-packing team. We invite individuals, community organizations, businesses, and non-profits to help us reach our goal. Those volunteers need to be age 12 and over. Help us make sure that no child in Chillicothe and surrounding communities go to bed hungry.

Feed the Funnel has packed millions of meals across the country. Now, it’s our turn. With your help, we can make Chillicothe and her neighbors the next chapter in that story

To volunteer for a meal-packing team or to donate monetarily please contact Maggie Moore at the Lillian DesMarias Youth Library at 660-646-0563 or maggie@livcolib.org.
