September 25 – September 26
You’re invited to Midwest Mission’s Annual Rice & Soy Blessing Bag Pack on September 25–26, 2025! Together, we’ll pack 10,000 meals to feed 60,000 people in crisis around the world.
This free, assembly-line style event is a hands-on way to show God’s love and be the hands and feet of Jesus. Each Blessing Bag contains rice, soy, vegetables, and a vitamin/seasoning pack—often sent to disaster zones, war-torn areas, or places facing severe hunger, like Haiti.
“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat…” (Matthew 25:35-40)
