January Tzedakah Box: Rise Against Hunger
828 million people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition. That’s 2-1/2 times the U.S. population. The United Nations has set a goal of Zero Hunger by 2030. 70% of Rise Against Hunger meals go to hungry children all over the world and support children’s attendance at school (the only meal many receive that day) with 30% of packed meals going to health clinics, disaster relief efforts and adults learning a new trade. Our Tzedakah Box this month goes to support that effort.
Learn more and sign up for the upcoming Rise Against Hunger food packing event taking place at Beth Am on Sunday, January 19 at 10:00 AM in the Social Hall. We will pack 25,000+ meals in a fun and fast-paced two hours.
