Two hours. 20 thousand meals. Lasting impact on the global community. Are you in?You can have a hands-on effect on world hunger by packaging meals with Rise Against Hunger on November 2 from 1-5 pm in Pender UMC's Fellowship Hall. These meals are nutrient-dense combinations of protein, grains, vegetables, and vitamins, but their benefits reach far beyond just nutrition!Meals are sent to disaster recovery areas and school programs internationally, where they have long-term positive consequences surrounding poverty, education, and more.Bring a willing set of hands for assembly-line packaging. Children are welcome - this is an all ages and abilities event.Each year, KUMC of Koinonia partners with the organization Rise Against Hunger on the first Sunday of November to pack 20,000 meals that are sent to communities in need around the world. This has been a meaningful and impactful tradition for our congregation.
