SUMMARY:Rise Against Hunger Packaging Event
DESCRIPTION:Put Love Into Action\nWhat happens when we move from learning about an issue to doing something about it? \nWe lead with love. \nJoin us for a meaningful day of worship and service as we close out an impactful weekend focused on poverty\, food insecurity\, and the challenges facing our communities. Throughout the weekend\, we’ll have opportunities to learn\, listen\, understand\, and consider how we can make a difference. This Rise Against Hunger packaging event gives us the opportunity to take that learning one step further and put love into action. \nServe Together\nVolunteers of all ages will work together to package nutritious meals that will be distributed to communities experiencing hunger around the world.
