meal packing event
Aug 3 - 7
Eastside Christian Church is teaming up with Lifeline Christian Mission to pack one million meals to help those here in our own communities. Over 38 million people living in the United States are experiencing food insecurity. Join us at our Eastside locations as we gather to do our part in fighting against food insecurity and malnutrition. This event is the perfect way for individuals, groups, and families of all ages to celebrate the end of summer! All ages are welcome with parent/guardian supervision. Space is limited for each shift so please register.

Yes! Chairs or stools will be available for those that cannot stand the entire shift.
We will provide gloves and hairnets for you (they are required while food packing). Just bring your own mask if you’d like to wear one.
Sorry but not this time. Our partners from Lifeline are supplying us with food in bulk that can be sent and stored to a variety of partners globally and locally. If you are looking for somewhere to donate food visit eastside.com/local and click View Service Opportunities and search there for local food pantries.
We highly recommend your register in advance as many shifts will fill up and we cannot guarantee you a spot at a certain time. If a shift is full you may walk-up and will be asked to standby to see if we can accommodate you at that shift or not.
Mac and cheese, beans and rice and oatmeal are being prepared across all of our campuses (although not all at all campuses).
All meals will go to trusted Local Partners in the communities surrounding our Eastside campuses.
