Rise Against Hunger is growing a global movement to end hunger by empowering communities, nourishing lives and responding to emergencies. This spring we will be collecting donations and hosting a packing event on Saturday, May 4. The Rise Against Hunger packing events provide a fun, educational way for groups to literally lend a hand to people facing hunger across the globe. We combine an assembly line process with an educational experience to not only make a huge impact worldwide, but to touch the lives of those in our group. Our goal is to raise at least $4200 and that will allow us to pack and send 10,000+ meals!

Go to the Rise Against Hunger website (riseagainsthunger.org) for more information. How can you help? To donate, make your check payable to Mt. Zion and write “Rise Against Hunger” in the memo line or use THIS LINK.

This a great opportunity for everyone to take a moment and see how we spend extra money on food, drinks, etc. Go to Starbucks one less time a week or eat out one less time a week and donate the cost of the coffee or meal. Every little amount helps!

To volunteer for the packing event on Saturday, May 4, please use the Donate / Volunteer link below to sign up. We will need at least 60 people to make this a successful event! There will be a job for everyone from 5-105 and we look forward to seeing you!
