The First Presbyterian Church in Mineola will host a Rise Against Hunger event on Oct. 12.
Attention Long Islanders, you are invited to get “hands-on” at a meal-packing event. Attendees will package meals from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to help end hunger. For a few hours, you can make a difference by feeding hungry children and families overseas.
“Rise Against Hunger works in countries worldwide to fight hunger, targeting communities facing high rates of food insecurity,” stated on RiseAgainstHunger.org. “We provide volunteer-packaged meals and other assistance, often through school feeding programs, to support nutrition, education and health for children and families facing hunger right now.”
“APAGE” love is caring for others with unconditional love and action. The event’s hosts are kindly asking for help feeding others.
“About 733 million people worldwide do not receive enough nutrition to lead an active, healthy life or provide for themselves and their families,” stated on RiseAgainstHunger.org. “At Rise Against Hunger, we work with Hunger Champions — just like you — to end hunger in remote, last-mile communities.”
The Rise Against Hunger events provide lasting, real-life impact as your group works together for a start-to-finish meal assembly experience to combine rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables and a packet of 20 vitamins and minerals into life-changing meal packages. The food stores easily, transports quickly and has a long shelf-life to help meet the immediate nutritional needs of people facing food insecurity.
“Your partnership supports the distribution of nutritious meals and provides sustainable, long-term solutions ensuring food and nutrition security in the communities we serve globally,” stated on RiseAgainstHunger.org.
