The Rise Against Hunger packing event held on January 21st at Potomac UMC was a resounding success, with 40 to 50 volunteers coming together to pack over 10,152 meals in the parish center gym. Participants of all ages joined in, and the atmosphere was lively with music and high spirits. The event was made even more special with pizza from Tally Ho. The success of the event was a result of the hard work and dedication of the staff, volunteers, and the Rise Against Hunger team.
Rise Against Hunger is a global organization that has been committed to addressing
food insecurity for 25 years. They work with various partners and volunteers to provide
meals to those in need around the world. The event at Potomac UMC is just one
example of the many successful meal packaging events organized by Rise Against
Hunger. These events play a crucial role in providing meals to communities in need, and
anyone can get involved in hosting or participating in such events.
The Rise Against Hunger packing event at Potomac UMC was a testament to the power
of the community coming together to make a positive impact on global food insecurity.
Pastor Laura said it best, “This is how we make a difference in the life of a family we may
never get an opportunity to meet and this is how we make a difference outside of our
community.“
