We challenge you to up your (serve) game and make a difference this summer. Take part in FMSC's Summer Serve Challenge and feed kids this summer.

Here's how it works:

  1. Sign up to volunteer at one of our permanent packing sites. When you're there, pick up your Summer Serve Challenge punch card and collect your first punch.
  2. Volunteer a total of at least seven times this summer to complete your punch card, including at least one session with a friend and one where you do a specialized job (warehouse or labeling).
  3. When you complete your challenge, turn in your punch card and pick your prize — an FMSC T-shirt (up to $20 value) or an FMSC MarketPlace™ gift card.
  4. No need to stop when your challenge is over. Keep coming back and feeding kids!
