Happy World Food Day!

Throughout this campaign, we've followed the journey of a meal.

We've watched it leave the hands of volunteers. We've watched it travel across land and sea. We've seen it arrive in communities around the world.

And we've met the children whose lives are changed because someone they may never meet chose to care.

Today we're reminded that millions of people are still waiting for that same opportunity. The journey isn't over.

Every meal packaged. Every shipment sent. Every partnership strengthened. Every gift given. They all help deliver hope to children, families and communities around the world.

If you've been inspired by the stories you've seen over the past several weeks, there's still time to make a difference.

Celebrate World Food Day by making a gift today. Together, we can help send more deliveries, reach more communities and create more stories of hope.

Every delivery you've followed throughout this campaign began with one decision: someone chose to help.

That decision became a meal; that meal became a shipment; that shipment reached a school; that school became a place where children could learn, grow and dream of brighter futures.

Now another journey is waiting to begin.

As World Food Day (October 16) approaches, thousands of children are still waiting for their next meal. Together, we can help ensure more deliveries reach the communities counting on them.

Today is your opportunity to start the next journey. Your gift today helps provide nutritious meals and supports the local partnerships that make lasting impact possible.

You’ve heard us talking about World Food Day, but what exactly is it?

Observed every year on October 16, World Food Day commemorates the 1945 founding of the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization and promotes action toward ending global hunger.

It is one of the most celebrated U.N. holidays, with people in 150+ countries raising awareness and making an impact.

World Food Day reflects something at the heart of Rise Against Hunger’s work: ending hunger requires both meeting needs today and building toward a future where communities can achieve food security and self-reliance.

It starts with a meal. A school meal can help a student stay in class. Nutrition can give families more room to plan for the future. Agriculture and economic empowerment programs can strengthen local food systems. That layered approach is central to Rise Against Hunger’s work.

This World Food Day, we’re joining people worldwide in taking action.

Every month, meals and other aid leave our warehouses to travel to communities around the world. Getting these critical shipments where they’re needed requires careful coordination, strong partnerships and a shared commitment to communities facing hunger.

In September, that work continued as Rise Against Hunger shipped 14 containers to our global partners:

📦 2 containers to International Care Ministries in the Philippines
📦 3 containers to Convoy of Hope in El Salvador
📦 6 containers to Convoy of Hope in the Philippines
📦 2 containers to Children of Vietnam in Vietnam
📦 1 container of emergency aid to our partners in Venezuela

Each shipment is one part of a much bigger journey. Our in-country partners ensure meals and resources reach the communities we serve to help meet immediate needs while supporting long-term pathways toward food security.

To our partners, volunteers and supporters who help make this work possible: thank you for helping move us closer to a world without hunger.

It starts with a meal® and ends in self-reliance.

When a meal is delivered, the story doesn't end there.

It continues the next morning when a child walks into school ready to learn.

For students like Máximo in rural Honduras, that's exactly what happened.

Before his school began receiving Rise Against Hunger meals through one of our partners, lunch often meant snacks with little nutritional value. Today, nutritious school meals help students stay energized, focused and ready to learn. Máximo now enjoys reading with his parents, playing with classmates and dreaming about his future.

Teachers have noticed the difference, too. Children who once struggled to concentrate are now more focused, active and engaged in the classroom. Attendance has increased, and students are arriving ready to learn because they no longer have to face the school day hungry.

This is what happens when a delivery arrives.

But there are still more children waiting for that same opportunity.

Today, you can help send the next delivery. Your gift helps provide nutritious meals that fuel learning, strengthen communities and create opportunities that last far beyond the classroom.

Every delivery has someone waiting on the other end.

For 10-year-old Haudiel, that someone was him.

When work became scarce for his parents and his stepfather suffered a spinal injury, putting nutritious meals on the table became increasingly difficult. Some days, his family had only one meal to share.

Then a delivery arrived.

Not at his front door, but at his school.

Through Rise Against Hunger's local partner, Haudiel began receiving regular, nutritious meals as part of his school's feeding program. Those meals have helped him grow stronger, stay focused in class and build toward the future he dreams about.

Today, Haudiel proudly shares, "The nurse tells me I have a good weight and height for my age." He also believes eating well has helped him learn faster in school.

Most of us will never meet the children at the end of these deliveries.

But every meal packaged, every gift given and every partnership built helps make moments like this possible.

Because every journey toward hope starts somewhere.

Your gift helps start that journey and get boxes into the hands of children like Haudiel.

Every delivery starts somewhere.

When you order dinner, you might get a notification that says, "Your order is being prepared."

For a Rise Against Hunger meal, that's where the journey begins, too.

Except this delivery won't arrive in 15 minutes.

It begins with volunteers carefully packaging each meal by hand. From there, thousands of meals are packed into boxes and begin a journey across land and sea before reaching our in-country partners, who help deliver them into the hands of children and families around the world.

The distance is greater.

The journey is longer.

But the destination is worth every mile.

Because before a meal can nourish a child, someone has to start the journey.

The impact of a meal extends far beyond just easing hunger for a day.

Nutritious meals help students stay focused in school. They help families stretch limited household resources. They support healthier communities and create opportunities for people to work toward brighter futures.

That's why Rise Against Hunger's work goes beyond food alone. Every meal is part of a larger effort to strengthen communities through nutrition, education and economic empowerment.

Because when one need is met, new possibilities begin to grow.

What can 500+ volunteers do in one day? Fill an entire shipping container with nourishment and hope!

Earlier this week, volunteers gathered at CURE Insurance Arena in New Jersey, for “Trenton Plates, the World Takes,” a day of service hosted by Cross Community. Since 2024, the annual event has brought together churches, schools, businesses and community groups to take action against hunger.

This year, volunteers packaged more than 285,000 meals — enough to fill a shipping container!

Our work focuses on supporting communities as they move toward self-reliance, and these meals help make this possible! The meals will be distributed to complement nutrition, education and economic empowerment programs that fuel long-term food security and resilience.

A meal can travel thousands of miles. Its impact reaches even farther.

Nutritious meals help students stay in school. They give families room to invest in tomorrow instead of worrying only about today. They strengthen communities through local partnerships that continue long after the meals have been distributed.

That's why your support matters.

When you volunteer, advocate or give, you're helping create opportunities that extend beyond the meal itself.

Follow along this fall as we continue sharing the stories, partnerships and communities that remind us why this work matters and why, together, we can build a world without hunger.

Most food deliveries arrive in minutes. This one travels thousands of miles. Help send nutritious meals to children around the world.
