Elevation Church achieved an incredible milestone of impact in July 2025: 5 million meals packaged with Rise Against Hunger since 2011! The milestone occurred during LOVE Week, the church’s annual week of service.
About 673 million people are facing hunger globally, according to the 2025 State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
Quality education and food security are linked. Hunger often makes it challenging to focus in class, and learning becomes more difficult. Rise Against Hunger is addressing this, providing meals for school feeding.
Anyone — no matter your age — can get involved in the work to end world hunger! The children and young adults of Church of the Vietnamese Martyrs in Richmond, Virginia, know this well.
At Rise Against Hunger, we impacted over 9.4 million lives in 41 countries in 2024 — and this truly wouldn’t be possible without volunteers like YOU! Volunteers help us package millions of meals each year.
