Rise Against Hunger a District Wide project!

David will be discussing the district wide food packing project with the Rise Against Hunger (RAH) organization.  RAH is committed to ending world hunger by 2030.  You can see more about them at www.riseagainsthunger.org  RAH sends food all over the world to manmade (Ukraine) and natural (floods and hurricanes) disasters.  One of the best things they do is send 40% of all the food packaged to schools in developing nations.  That increases attendance and learning, helping to end the cycle of poverty.  Educated girls are less likely to fall victim to human trafficking.

What we will be doing the day of the event is putting specific amounts of soy, dehydrated vegetables, rice and a vitamin/mineral packet into a plastic bag that is weighed, sealed, labeled and boxed.  Each bag is a meal for 6 and there are 30 bags in a box.
