Awesome news! A huge thank you to all who made our recent Rise Against Hunger event a massive success. Looking forward to next year's event on SATURDAY JANUARY 31ST. We cannot do this without you. Please consider volunteering and making a cash donation to this event so that we can pack even more meals. Next year's goal is 17000 meals. That requires at least 7000 dollars to purchase the ingredients and supplies to package the meals at just 43 cents per meal.
Our meals packaged at your Rise Against Hunger Experience have shipped.
At this moment, healthy meals are on their way to a community in urgent need of nutrition. We are excited to share that destination with you. (Drumroll, please!)
The meals we packaged are headed to the Philippines!
The Philippines consists of over 7,000 islands in the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean. One of the most environmentally disaster prone countries in the world, it faces near constant threats of natural disasters like earthquakes, typhoons and volcanic eruptions. These disasters cause displacement and major loss of livelihoods and infrastructure, and disproportionately affect poor communities in rural areas, where people rely on agriculture and fishing. The Global Hunger Index, which assesses food insecurity based on indicators that measure undernourishment and undernutrition, categorizes the Philippines as having a moderate level of hunger overall. Rise Against Hunger serves the regions of the Philippines where hunger is most urgent.
To address some of the food security challenges that children, families, and communities in the Philippines face, Rise Against Hunger partners with organizations that support educational programs by providing meals to children at schools and early child development centers. This is a key part of Rise Against Hunger's Nourishing Lives pathway. In some cases, the food children receive at school will be the majority of the food they eat in a day. The meals you packaged will help ensure that children have access to the consistent nourishment they need to live healthy lives and successfully pursue their education.

Thank you again for volunteering your time. The impact we are making together starts with a meal and leads to resilient communities worldwide. Please consider continuing your journey to end hunger by donating to support sustainable solutions for communities like the ones your meals are serving.
