We target remote, last-mile communities within hunger pockets designated “serious” or higher on the Global Hunger Index, which are the hardest places to reach and are often difficult to access, lack communication, and have poor infrastructure. With the support of our global impact partners, we practice locally-led development by providing expertise vital to empower local communities and providing meals through local schools to incentive attendance and enable kids to obtain an education. Our work starts with a meal.
Rise Against Hunger is growing a global movement to end hunger by empowering communities, nourishing lives, and responding to emergencies. Rise Against Hunger - Dallas/Ft. Worth Meal Packaging Program engaged more than 11,000 local volunteers in preparing 2.3 million meals in 2022. In the current year, the DFW program goal is 2.7 million meals and 13,500 volunteers engaged.
