For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me…

How to Participate
This event is unlike any other project. Volunteers of all ages and from all corners of the region come together joyously for one purpose: pack 1 million meals for families living in poverty. They work in teams, assembly-line style, all to the beat of fun music.
This extraordinary event returns in 2025 on June 14 at Cathedral Catholic High School. The organizers, the deacons of the San Diego Diocese, will once more need over 3,000 volunteers and $300,000 in donations to buy the meal ingredients.
Parishes, schools, clubs and families are encouraged to organize their members to participate as a group, and to raise funds for the event. Every $1 that is donated pays for four nutritious meals, in collaboration with the organization Kids Around the World.
Sign up today to put your faith in action – and to have fun.

Our Impact
The food packed by volunteers in the Million Meal Event in June 2023 was distributed to the poorest families in Tijuana and Zambia.
The meal packets were tangible proof that individuals, families and parishes gladly put their faith in action to ease a child’s hunger and to bring them hope.
