Rise Against Hunger
September 27
Zwingli will be partnering with Ridge Valley UCC and Trinity UCC for this summer’s mission project which targets remote, last-mile communities within hunger pockets designated as “serious” or higher on the Global Hunger Index. These locations are among the most difficult to reach. Access is challenging, communication limited, and infrastructure poor. Ridge Valley has been working with Rise Against Hunger every other year for 4 projects. Trinity started in 2023.
We’ll be officially kicking off the project with fund raising and sign-ups for meal packers on Sunday, June 29th, running through Sunday, August 31st. Instructions how to sign up will be in the bulletins beginning June 29th and in the July/August newsletter. The actual packing day will be September 27th. Between the 3 churches we’ll be needing 35-60 volunteers. We’ll know better by the beginning of September.
You can learn more about the program by going to riseagainsthunger.org. This is a one-day event of about 4 hours. As you watch one of the packing videos, you’ll notice that there are things to do for all ages. The day of the event RAH will provide everything including training.
