Volunteers of all ages and from all corners of the region come together joyously for one purpose: pack 1 million meals for kids living in poverty. They work in teams, assembly-line style, all to the beat of fun music.

In 2023, the volunteers wanted to keep going even as rain poured. So many turned out in 2024 that they finished early.

This extraordinary event returns in 2025 on Saturday, June 14, at Cathedral Catholic High School, with set up on the 13th.

The organizers, the deacons of the San Diego Diocese, will once more need at least 3,000 volunteers and donations to buy the meal ingredients.

They will reach out to parishes, schools, clubs and families to invite them 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. Please return to this page for more information soon.

And save the date — June 14, 2025 — to put your faith in action – and to have fun.
