Rise Against Hunger

Saturday, February 3, 2024

Please consider helping us come one step closer to a world without hunger by volunteering for our Rise Against Hunger meal packaging event on Saturday, February 3.  You may register online at the following link:http://events.riseagainsthunger.org/WPC2024.

Our goal is to package 20,088 meals in two hours from 10 am to 12 noon. To do that, we need 100 volunteers! Teams will work together to measure, seal, label, package and load onto pallets meals of rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables and micro nutrient packets containing twenty essential vitamins and minerals.

We are blessed this year that several churches have come together to fund this impactful program including Walhalla Presbyterian, Episcopal Church of the Ascension in Seneca, St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, Richland Presbyterian Church and West Union Presbyterian Chapel.

This is not only a meaningful ministry, it’s fun to do with friends and family! We encourage you to invite others to join us by sharing the registration information with them.
