Rise Against Hunger 

Rise Against Hunger is growing a global movement to end hunger by empowering communities, nourishing lives and responding to emergencies.  This fall we will be collecting donations and hosting a packing event on Saturday, October 7.  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 $4000 and that will allow us to pack and send 10,000 meals! Go to the Rise Against Hunger website.


How can you help?  Donate either to the church and write on your check “Rise Against Hunger” or donate directly to Rise Against Hunger  HERE.  Online donations will be counted toward our Mt. Zion total.  This is a great opportunity for everyone to take a moment and see how we spend so much extra money on food, drinks, etc.  Try going to Starbucks one less time a week and donate for this project.  Or as a family eat our one less time and donate the cost of that meal.  Every little amount helps!


In September everyone will have the opportunity to sign up to help at the packing event on Saturday, October 7.  There will be a job for everyone from 3-103!  We will need at least 60 people to help on this day.  Thank you!
