Laurie Sullivan has hosted Rise Against Hunger Experience meal packaging events since 2019, bringing together family and close friends to package nutritious meals for people facing hunger around the world.
Real, sustainable solutions to end hunger do exist. In Gokwe North, Zimbabwe, Rise Against Hunger and ADRA International have been working with local communities to support long-term food security.
Committed to the communities Rise Against Hunger serves around the world, FedEx has hosted over 70 Rise Against Hunger Experience meal packaging events since 2014 to support people facing hunger.
For five years, Rise Against Hunger has worked with ADRA International to address food insecurity in Gokwe North, Zimbabwe. What began as emergency school feeding evolved into a sustainable agriculture project.
Our volunteer-packaged meals both provide caloric intake and contain 20 vitamins and minerals. Our meals address the top concerns for micronutrient deficiencies and work to prevent other common deficiencies.
As Rise Against Hunger celebrates 25 years of commitment to this mission, we are highlighting stories of real impact this year from one of our six international offices: Rise Against Hunger Africa.
