Request to join the Facebook group CashMob by Malik to be informed of future month’s cash mob.

You can get your whole family (ages 5+) involved by volunteering at an event near you, hosting and organizing a packing event, and/or donating to help fund more meals.

Your immediate financial support is needed to pack and ship more urgently needed meals to FMSC’s partners in the path of Hurricane Matthew.
