Rise Against Hunger
Formerly Stop Hunger Now
Stop Hunger Now created its meal packaging program in 2005.
The program perfected the assembly process that combines rice, soy dehydrated vegetables and a flavoring mix including 21 essential vitamins and minerals into small meal packets. Each meal costs only 25 cents to create, and each package contains six meals. The food stores easily, has a shelf-life of two years and transports quickly.
More than 6,000,000 volunteer hours have been donated to this program since its inception.
More than 85,000,000 meals have been packaged since its inception.
If you would like to contribute to this project, you may do so by writing a check to Stop Hunger Now, or placing a donation in the collection plates on Sunday morning.
