Thank you Nativity for attending our 12th annual Rise Against Hunger (RAH) 10,000 meal-packing event! The Outreach ministry team budgeted $3,000 for the Rise Against Hunger event this year, and our neighbors at North Raleigh Presbyterian Church and their Outreach ministry team supplied another $800, allowing us to set up and pack 10,152 meals in less than 2 hours with 68 volunteers — pretty much split 50/50 from both churches.
RAH is committed to fulfilling the UN’s second Sustainable Development Goal of ending world hunger by the year 2030, which has recently been challenged by the actions of war and climate change heard in the news. RAH’s leader at our event was Ebony, and Ebony indicated our meals would be joining 2 big loads of meals headed to Madagascar and the Philippines. RAH and the Outreach ministry teams at both Church of the Nativity and North Raleigh Presbyterian Church thank you for your support!
