One Combined Worship Service at 10 AM

Pack meals together after Worship

Have lunch together to celebrate our work!

Help pack over 10,000 meals for Rise Against Hunger in Bradley Hall

Our fundraising goal: $4,000

  • Use the buttons below to donate and sign up to volunteer. The volunteer registration page has an option to donate, but we encourage you to give through HUMC using the donate button on this page.
  • There are two shifts listed on the volunteer page: the first shift from 9-11 AM is for folks who are able to lift and carry 50+ lbs. We only need a few strong folks to sign up for that slot.
  • There are plenty of volunteer jobs that don't involve intense physical labor; you can even be seated if you like. Register for the 11-1 PM shift if that sounds right for you (this is where most people are needed).

Donations can also be made by checked and mailed to (or dropped off at) Highland with "Rise Against Hunger" in the memo line.

Just $30 will nourish three children in school feeding programs for the entire month.  What can you give to help us reach our goal?

What is Rise Against Hunger?

Rise Against Hunger is a ministry partner, a non-profit seeking to end hunger in our lifetime by providing food and
life-changing aid to the world’s most vulnerable and by creating a global commitment to mobilize the necessary resources. One way they do that is by partnering with organizations like churches to help pack millions of low cost but nutritious meals that are distributed through community partners in countries around the world. In 2021, volunteers packed 17 million meals. These meals were distributed 2.7 million beneficiaries, mostly children.
