“Beyond the Plate 2024 Was Another Food and Philanthropy Success! Thanks first and foremost to our friends at St. Catherine of Siena Roman Catholic Church for putting together yet another elegant evening! The food was fantastic, and the generous sponsors of the evening came from both the chefs and restaurants themselves, along with other businesses and supporters of the Feed My Starving Children Ithaca MobilePack. All told the evening raised more than $35,000 towards the food that we will pack and provide September 27 – 29. Thank you so much to all who made this a wonderful evening!

The goal for this year's pack is $66,000, which will enable us to pack 225,000 meals. With previous fundraising efforts, and ongoing fundraising activity we are quite confident that we will be able to exceed our fundraising goals by the September pack. People can continue to give to the fall pack either through our website www.ithacaMobilePack.org  or directly to our event on the FMSC webpage: https://give.fmsc.org/campaign/2409-097mi-ithaca-ny-ithaca/c554348 .

We are always looking for people willing to take leadership roles. Please contact info@ithacamobilepack.org if you are able to serve on the steering committee, or some other specific way.

Make sure you share the news of financially supporting this year's MobilePack event (Sept. 27-29 at the NY National Guard Armory on Hanshaw Rd.), and the opportunity to pack and provide meals for the millions of people struggling with hunger. Thank you!”
