This is an amazing community event bringing friends and family together for one common goal. This is a great way to teach your children community service, this is also a great way for your teens to earn community service hours needed for school. Last year we doubled the amount of packages we made the year before.  The goal this year is 20,304 meal packets. The Rise Against Hunger people make this event very entertaining!
