GEORGETOWN, Del. - Four hundred volunteers came together on March 9 to pack 100,000 meals for people going hungry around the world.
The Grace United Methodist Church partnered with international nonprofit Rise Against Hunger to host the "Feeding the 5,000 Multiplied" event. Volunteers gathered at Sussex Central High School over the course of six hours to package nutritious meals to help tackle food insecurity. Meal boxes consisted of rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables and vitamins.
This is the second year in a row that the Grace United Methodist Church hosted the event with Rise Against Hunger.
