Rise Against Hunger

  • St. Andrews UMC 9801 Fort King Road HENRICO United States (map)

Saint Andrew's invites you to join with us to feed the world’s starving children.  This has been a regular activity for us and over the years, we have joined together to feed more than 50,000 children.  There are activities available for people of all ages and abilities. Please help us to continue this important mission.

This year, we are also inviting members from our sister churches in the West End Cluster. The registration site is shown below. We need a minimum of 60 volunteers but can accommodate up to 70.

For those who are unfamiliar with Rise Against Hunger, we will repackage bulk dry ingredients into individual serving bags and pack them in boxes for international distribution.

How to prepare for the event:  

  • Wear comfortable clothing and shoes.

  • Leave watches and loose jewelry at home. Plain rings such as wedding bands are OK.

  • You’ll need to fully cover your hair with a provided hairnet. Consider wearing long hair tied back to make this easier. Beard nets will also be provided for volunteers with facial hair.
