Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Orange, California

Total Budget: $5,011

Areas of Focus: Maternal and child health, Community economic development, The environment

Activity Type: Food/Agriculture: General

Summary: ln conjunction with Rise Against Hunger Organization, Orange Plaza Rotary Club members and it's Intereact Club members at El Modena High School, will work with volunteers to prepare meal packs to be sent to underserved communities.


We will be a part of a nationwide packaging event with over 331,000 volunteers packaging over 57.4 million meals. These meals serve more than 3.6 million people in over 37 countries, most of which are not likely to be Rotarians.

Our participation in the event will fall between December 2026 and April 2027.

Funds provided by Orange Plaza, along with our DDF Grant share, will be used to purchase foods and packaging materials from the Rise Against Hunger Organization. We will be purchasing the contents for 10,000 meals.

Club Members, Family, lnteractors, Advisors, and other non-Rotarian volunteers (30+) will hand pack 4 different freeze-dried foods into packets that have to be weighed for accuracy, then sealed, labeled and crated into boxes ready for shipping. Volunteers will also help set up the room being used and help breakdown / clean up after.
