Rise Against Hunger

Picture

Our last packing event was Sunday, October 27th, 2024

Picture
We host a Rise Against Hunger meal packaging event annually at St. Timothy's. Rise against hunger brings the expertise and we bring the hands. When we are in full gear we can package a full pallet of 14,256 meals in about two hours! 
We have jobs for everyone - sitting and standing jobs available. Under 13 year old youth will work with an adult.  
What is Rise Against Hunger?
Rise Against Hunger is an international hunger relief agency that has been working to end hunger since 1998.  Their mission is to provide food and aid to people in need around the world and respond to disasters.  One of the ways that RAH works to achieve its mission is by working with volunteers to stage meal packaging events.
​
What is the Meal Packaging Event?
Volunteer Opportunity

The Meal Packaging Program is an assembly-line process where volunteers combine rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables and a flavoring/vitamin mix into small meal packets. The food stores easily, has a shelf-life of two years and transports quickly. Rise Against Hunger works with international partners to distribute the meals.
How Does a Packaging Event Work?
Rise Against Hunger brings all of the supplies and equipment, we recruit volunteer workers and donors.  To host a packaging event in the St. Timothy's Parish Hall, we must raise a minimum of $5,700 which will fund 15,000 meals.  
How Can You Help?
Donate and Volunteer
​Invite Family and Friends!

We need donations to purchase the supplies and volunteers to package the food.  We have jobs for everyone - sitting and standing jobs available. ​Under 13 year old youth will work with an adult.  Each volunteer can package 200 meals in 2 hours.  At 38 cents per meal, the cost for each volunteer is approximately $75.  We encourage everyone to participate and donate what you can towards the cost of the meal supplies.  Donation towards supplies is appreciated but not required to participate.
