Rise Against Hunger Experience
They may look like simple bags of rice and soy, but Rise Against Hunger meals represent the hopes and dreams of people worldwide. Our volunteers are the heart of our mission to end hunger and we could not send millions of meals around the globe each year without them. This page is your guide to everything you need to know about hosting an event with Rise Against Hunger Africa!
Lend a Hand to People Facing Hunger Across the Globe
As many as 783 million people worldwide do not receive enough nutrition to lead an active, healthy life or provide for themselves and their families. At Rise Against Hunger Africa, we work with Hunger Champions — just like you — to end hunger in remote, last-mile communities.
Our Rise Against Hunger Experience events provide lasting, real-life impact as your group works together for a start-to-finish meal assembly experience to combine rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables and a packet of 20 vitamins and minerals into life-changing meal packages. The food stores easily, transports quickly and has a long shelf-life to help meet the immediate nutritional needs of people facing food insecurity, paving the way toward resilient and bright futures! You can also pair your Rise Against Hunger Experience with a Gather for Good virtual event.

Our meal events, the distribution, and monitoring and evaluation of the impact are all supported by a donation from your group. A representative from your nearest Rise Against Hunger location can further discuss donation and event goals that best fit your group’s needs.
Event Space
Approximately 15-20 sq. ft. per volunteer is needed and must be indoors. We require our hosts to provide rectangular tables (amount and size of tables based on how many volunteers are participating) and AV equipment setups to share video content and make announcements during the event.
