Mission of the Month:  Save the Date: Rise Against Hunger 2024 

Our annual Rise Against Hunger event will be held on Saturday, July 27, 2024. Rise Against Hunger is a non-profit organization that coordinates meal packaging events and sends meal packs of rice, soy, and dried vegetables around the world. All volunteers (children and adults) are welcome, and the event will be fast paced with lots of music and gong ringing! Our goal again this year is to package an entire pallet of meals - 14,256 meals! We need both volunteers and donations to reach our goal.  Our fundraising goal is $3,400.

 

Volunteers needed:

8:00 a.m.—9:00 a.m. :  8-10 volunteers needed for unloading and set up – we need some strong muscles to unload the rice and equipment from the truck and get Martin Hall set up.

 

9:00 a.m.—11:30 a.m. :  40-50 volunteers for the meal packaging event.  There are jobs where you can stand, sit, or run!

 

Please email, call, or text Eva Dye if you would like to volunteer (evadye@yahoo.com, 615-559-3860).      Donations can be sent to the church office and designated for Rise Against Hunger.
