Rise AGAINST hunger\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The parking lot was full at 9<\/u><\/em>:00, there were multiple stations and most were full  (even though we were early), but we finely found our station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

   I arrived at my church for an event called \u201cRise AGAINST Hunger\u201d ; my mom, my sister Avery, and I signed up. Avery and I have done this in the past and it was very fun and helpful to people who don\u2019t have access to food, so we did it again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   We looked around said hi to a bunch of people, then we heard a loud voice that started to greet everyone and introduced himself too. He told us that he worked for \u201crise AGAINST hunger\u201d and he demonstrated all of the stations that made bags of food that were going to be shipped to kids in countries who don\u2019t have access to food and might not have three meals a day. Each of the bags included: vitamins, vegetables, soy and rice. (There we\u2019re instructions how to cook it on the back).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event made me hopeful:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
