Rise Against Hunger Packing Event

Sunday, October 2nd


It starts with a meal. Help us come together to package nearly 20,000 highly nutritious, dehydrated meals using an assembly line process to ship to hungry kids and individuals around the world. It seem like packing simple bags of rice and soy, but Rise Against Hunger meals represent the hopes and dreams of people worldwide. This is your opportunity to be part of ending hunger for those in need! We are hoping to have 50+ volunteers to pack meals come together for this spectacular mission opportunity.  

Volunteer!

Join your Fairlington family in the Fellowship Hall on Sunday, October 2 from 12:30 - 2 PM to package the meals.   We need 50+ volunteers to pack meals for this event, including a few people for set up and take down. Please note that this is a real working activity so all volunteers for this event should plan to wear “casual” clothes and a hat, scarf, or other head covering. A light lunch will be served for all volunteers. Families with children are encouraged to sign up together, tasks are available for everyone aged 5+. 


Volunteers Needed:

  • Set-up in the Fellowship Hall on October 2 at 10 AM (8-10 people).
  • Package meals from 12:30 - 2:00 PM (50+ people).
  •  Help clean up after event is over (8-10 people).
