Event Update:
A huge THANK YOU to all the VOLUNTEERS who packaged meals on Sunday, December 8th, and to all the DONORS who provided the funds for this project. With your awesome generous support, we were able to exceed our goal of 25,056 meals we packed last year. This year, we had 200 volunteers package 30,672 meals in under two hours. You donated $12,500 to cover the cost of the meals. We thank each and everyone of you for putting your Faith into Action during this Holiday Season!
Rise Against Hunger 2024 will be on December 8th from 1pm-3pm!
The Catholic Community of Hopewell Valley is hosting our 3nd Annual Rise Against Hunger fundraiser and meal packing event! Rise Against Hunger is an international humanitarian organization that is growing a global movement to end hunger by empowering communities, nourishing lives and responding to emergencies. With locations across the U.S. and six international offices, the organization provides immediate nourishment for those facing hunger today and implements sustainable solutions that will lift entire communities for years to come. Rise Against Hunger has facilitated volunteer meal packaging of more than 600 million meals to be distributed to countries around the world.
Our goals this year are to raise $10,250 and pack 25,000 meals! You can donate online and via check or cash. See below for details. To volunteer, please sign up online via the SignUp Genius link below or visit one of the Rise Against Hunger tables after Masses in November.
