Here at Rise Against Hunger we always have an ongoing need for a volunteer base. Our volunteers can do a multitude of different tasks. Those tasks can range from: bag labeling, bag filling, printing, office tasks, sanitizing, etc. Rise Against Hunger can adapt these tasks to fit most needs of the volunteer. Our typical organizations hours are 8a-4p Mondays - Fridays.
We are specifically looking for 1-2 people to come for 1-4 hours and help with sanitizing our funnel equipment during our eventful season as well as re-label and re-box meal bags that have just returned to our warehouse. The volunteer could help for as little as one hour or up to four hours. Sanitizing meals does require standing, but it could be worked out to sit if that is needed. Someone would be available to help lift boxes if needed as well. Please reach out to help make a difference today!

Mission Statement
To help end hunger in our lifetime by providing food and life-saving aid to the world's most vulnerable and by creating a global commitment to mobilize the necessary resources.
Description
Rise Against Hunger is an international hunger relief agency that has been fulfilling its commitment to end hunger for more than 15 years. Since 1998, the organization has coordinated the distribution of food and other lifesaving aid to children and families in countries all over the world.
Rise Against Hunger created its meal packaging program, in 2005. The program perfected the assembly process that combines rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables and a flavoring mix including 23 essential vitamins and minerals into small meal packets. Each meal costs only 29 cents. The food has a shelf-life of two years and transports quickly. Rise Against Hunger works with international partners that ship and distribute the meals in-country.
The packaging operation is mobile to wherever volunteers are located, and can accommodate as few as 25 and as many as 500 volunteers at a time. One SHN packaging event can result in the packaging of more than 1,000,000 meals.
Rise Against Hunger provides over 70% of its meals to support transformational development programs such as school feeding programs, vocational training programs, early childhood development programs, orphanages, and medical clinics. Working with these programs helps enhance lives by giving beneficiaries the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty through education, skills development, and health care while also receiving much needed nutrition.
