Our Packed Meals Are On their Way
Once again, a HUGE thank you to everyone who supported our Rise Against Hunger Meal Packing Event on Saturday, March 15th.
At this moment, healthy meals are on their way to a community in urgent need of nutrition.
We have just learned that the meals we packed are headed to Burundi! Located in the Rift Valley in East Africa, Burundi faces poverty and high levels of food insecurity. Since the country gained independence, internal conflict has impacted agricultural production, an important source of livelihood for many. Refugees and returning displaced Burundians depend on food assistance, yet available resources have become scarce. The Global Hunger Index, which assesses food insecurity based on indicators that measure undernourishment and under-nutrition, estimates that Burundi has an alarming level of hunger.
The meals we packed will help ensure that the people they are being sent to have access to the consistent nourishment they need to live healthy lives.
Thank you for your support in this ministry!
