Rise Against Hunger

The Catholic Community of Hopewell Valley hosted a Rise Against Hunger fundraiser and meal packing event for. Rise Against Hunger, an international humanitarian organization, 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 540 million meals to be distributed to countries around the world.

A huge THANK YOU to all the volunteers who packaged meals on Sunday, December 11th, and to all the donors who provided the funds for this project. With your awesome generous support, we were able to double our goal. We had 160 volunteers package 20,304 meals in an hour and a half! You donated $10,500 to cover the cost of the meals, which also includes extra funds for even more meals to be packaged. The meals were received by Salesian Missions in Haiti.

We thank each and everyone of you for putting your Faith into Action during this Holiday Season!
