For communities around the world, facing hunger affects their livelihood including health, education, and economics. Almost half of all childhood deaths worldwide occur in children with malnutrition. Without the right nutrients, the brain cannot develop properly, resulting in long term effects on learning abilities. About 733 million people across the world don't receive enough nutrition to lead an active, healthy life, or provide for themselves and their families.
The Pilot Rotary Club will host a meal packaging event on January 31, 2025 at the Rise Against Hunger Dallas Warehouse (1252 Security Drive, Dallas, TX, 75247). We have committed $1,036.80 of club funds to package 2592 meals. We are requesting matching funds of $1,000.00 to increase the meal package total to 5,000 meal packs.
Club members and recruited volunteers (total approximately 20 people) will meet at the Rise Against Hunger Dallas Warehouse to assemble meal packs and prepared mail boxes for international shipping.
The meal packs are assembled and shipped to international countries such as Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Haiti, Honduras, India, Kenya, Madagascar, Nicaragua, Philippines, Somaliland, South Africa, Tanzania, Timor-Leste, Uganda, Vietnam, Zimbabwe.
Rise Against Hunger's Pathways to End Hunger model aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), primarily #2 Zero Hunger and #4 Quality Education.
