What is a Meal Packaging Event?

It is an immensely fun, hands-on and rewarding experience for anyone of any age. You can help 3 ways: Pray, Donate Money, Volunteer your time on the 11th!  A group of 150 volunteers (ages 3 to 103) can package 30,000 meals in just three hours.  The yearly event is held at the Martin H Glynn Building on the second Saturday in September of each year from. 12-3:30 to pack meals & then we need a few helpers to stay after for clean-up! When registration for our 2027 event is live we will share the link here. 

Rise Against Hunger's meal packaging program is a volunteer-based initiative that coordinates the assembly-line packaging of highly nutritious dehydrated meals composed of rice, soy, vegetables and 23 essential vitamins and minerals. Since the inception of the meal packaging program in December 2005, these packaged meals have been used primarily to support school feeding programs in developing countries.

Hunger doesn't have to exist...let's end it together.
