All are invited to participate in a Rise Against Hunger “Meal Packing” event Sat., March 19, 9:30 – Noon in SPC’s Fellowship Hall. Volunteers can sign up here, on SPC’s website or call the church office.

Co-founded as Stop Hunger Now in 1998, the organization rebranded to become Rise Against Hunger in 2017. Since 1998 contributions have helped provide five hundred million meals to people in need around the world. Rise Against Hunger’s global initiative has been implementing sustainable community development projects ranging from the meal packaging program that harnesses the passion of local volunteers to promoting self-sufficiency and empowerment in communities, nourishing lives, and responding to emergencies.

The simple bags of rice and soy assembled at Meal Packing events, represent the hopes and dreams of people worldwide. Volunteers are the heart of our mission to end hunger, and Rise Against Hunger could not send millions of meals around the globe each year without them.
