Donate or volunteer for Rise Against Hunger

The world produces enough food to feed everyone, and yet 783 million people around the globe are facing hunger each day. Rise Against Hunger works to end hunger in communities across the world, and we can be part of the solution. Blacksburg United Methodist Church is hosting a Rise Against Hunger event. We will assemble 15,000 rice-soy meals on Saturday, February 3, 2024. We will need 60-100 volunteers! Set-up starts at 8:30 followed at 10:00 by the event, which is planned professionally by the organization and will even have its own fun playlist.  It will be a church venture that we hope will include participants from the community.  All who plan to attend should register using this event page: The financial commitment is $6,200; if you would like to donate, you can donate on the event page or give to BUMC (blacksburgumc.org) and mark your gift Rise Against Hunger."
