This is a courtesy post to spread the word about Grace UMC’s upcoming Rise Against Hunger Event.
Purpose: Rise Against Hunger is a meal packaging event organizer that seeks to involve communities, organizations, and businesses in hands-on mission type volunteering to help end world hunger. Rise Against Hunger is a non-profit 501 3C and Grace UMC will be hosting the event for Rise Against Hunger.
Grace United Methodist Church will be the host-site for a community wide meal packaging event, called Rise Against Hunger. RAH is a non-profit organization that seeks to end world hunger by the year 2030. While we may feel this is a lofty goal, the actual truth is we are getting closer each and every day to ending hunger, especially for school-aged children.
The event will be held on Saturday, February 15th from 9:00 a.m. to noon. They are expecting 300 volunteers from area schools, groups, organization and businesses and are encouraging them to wear their business shirts, school spirit wear, etc., as we make one huge community wide effort to package 50,000 nutritious meals of rice and dried beans. These meals will then be shipped internationally to the greatest areas of need. Can you imagine a more heart-warming, generous gift than food for your malnourished family than to receive a package shipped from Manassas, VA? Please contact Darlene Runaldue, Director of Community Connection at Grace UMC at drunaldue@umcgrace.org for more information on how to get involved. An online signup will also be available soon!
