First Presbyterian Church Hosts Thanksgiving Food Packing Event

Press release from First Presbyterian Church of Fairfield:

Nov. 15, 2022

”Thanksgiving” often brings gratitude, gathering, family, friends and food to mind. It can be a wonderful time of year to get together and reflect on all that we have. It can also be a time that we realize how blessed we are and look for ways to help people in need.

This Thanksgiving season, you and your family can put your heart & hands to rise against hunger with a community that really cares. While long-term food security projects take root, communities facing hunger still need to meet their basic needs today. That’s why First Presbyterian Church of Fairfield is partnering with Rise Against Hunger, an international hunger relief agency, to sponsor and host a meal packing event on Sunday, November 27 from 9:30 AM-12 PM.

Volunteers of all ages have a way to help take a stand against child hunger! Invite your friends, family, neighbors and coworkers to assemble meal packets for distribution to children in need. No experience or religious affiliation required to participate.

Hunger and malnutrition remain the biggest risk to health around the world. Six million children under the age of 5 needlessly die because of hunger every year. A world without hunger is possible with the help of kind-hearted people like you.

The Rise Against Hunger's meal packaging event is a fun, hands-on experience. This international mission project encourages team building and provides the opportunity to have an exponential and sustainable international impact without leaving our local area.

Give your time to join the fight against hunger this Thanksgiving season. These impacted communities need you. Sign up to volunteer at the meal packing event: https://firstpresby.net/rise-against-hunger

“Rise Against Hunger recognizes that hunger will not end without creating a global movement. We engage hundreds of thousands of volunteers and advocates each year to build awareness and activation. Over the next several years, we want to engage over 2 million donors, fans and influencers to make a difference through our various opportunities, including meal packaging, virtual experiences, digital and social engagement, and more.”
