“This is an opportunity for our alumni to join in service with current students to give to those in need, especially as we get close to the holiday season,” said MTSA President Chris Hulin. “Our goal is to package 25,000 meals and raise $4,000. I’m also thrilled to announce that an anonymous donor will match those funds for a possible grand total of $8,000 that will go directly to feeding the underserved.”

According to Rise Against Hunger, $5 covers the cost of 15 meals, and for $75, a child can be fed for a year. With contributions from MTSA’s anonymous donor, Hulin pointed out that those outcomes can be doubled—30 meals for $5, or two children fed for a year for $75.

Rise Against Hunger’s mission is to “end hunger in our lifetime by providing food and life-changing aid to the world’s most vulnerable and creating a global commitment to mobilize the necessary resources.” Its meal packaging volunteers produce millions of nutritious meals annually that are then distributed to partners in countries around the world.
