About this event

Join our event and get involved in growing the movement to end hunger. It starts with a meal, and it starts with you.

Rise Against Hunger is committed to addressing food insecurity through nourishing lives, empowering communities and responding to emergencies.

People living in rural areas and young children are disproportionately affected by food insecurity, which is why Rise Against Hunger works predominantly in remote, last-mile communities. We are focused on supporting people who face challenges in accessing adequate food. A large percentage of our meals are also distributed through school feeding programs to address children’s nutritional needs, like in Madagascar where 10-year-old Ematokisoa receives daily meals at school . Ematokisoa previously did not have enough nutritious food to make it through the school day, but he has been able to continue his studies since receiving meals and is preparing to begin secondary school. By providing food to nourish lives, Rise Against Hunger is working to alleviate food insecurity in remote areas in countries around the world.
