Rise Against Hunger

Join Us to Fight Hunger: Rise Against Hunger Meal Packing Event

The Burleson Area Midday Rotary Club is proud to sponsor a Rise Against Hunger meal-packing event, bringing together 150 student volunteers to pack over 20,000 nutritious meals for children and families facing hunger around the world. In just two hours, our volunteers will work together on an assembly line — measuring, funneling, weighing, sealing, and boxing rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables, and vitamins into meal packets that will be shipped to communities in need.

This is a hands-on, high-energy service opportunity and a great way for students to give back to their community while learning what it takes to fight hunger at scale.

What to Expect

Volunteers will be assigned to one of several stations on the packing line — filling, running, weighing/sealing, or boxing — so no experience is necessary. Rise Against Hunger staff and Rotary volunteer captains will walk everyone through their role and safety guidelines before packing begins. Closed-toe shoes are recommended, and hair should be tied back or covered per food-safety guidelines.

Sign Up

Space is limited to 150 volunteers, and slots are organized by role. Please sign up for the station that interests you at using the sign up link.
