More than 250 people volunteered this year for the Rise Against Hunger meal packing event at Delphos St. Johns High School.

Groups packed 35,000 meal bags full of rice, soy meal and vegetables. And then those bags were then measured, sealed and then packed into boxes. Those who participate every year say it gives them great joy to know they are helping others.

The Delphos "Rise Against Hunger" is set for this Sunday at 1 pm at St. John’s School and in order to pack 35 thousand meals, they need another 3 thousand dollars.  They've already raised 8 thousand dollars to buy some of the supplies they need.  'Rise Against Hunger" is an international non-profit that sends packaged food and other items to people in developing countries.  This is the 4^TH year that the Delphos community has stepped up to help feed people around the world and organizers say with a few more donations, they can help even more.

Once again a Delphos couple is organizing an event that hopes to rise against world hunger. On February 23rd, the Rise Against Hunger event will be held at Delphos St. John's, where volunteers will pack meals for people who are starving around the world.

St. Matthews Lutheran Church in Cridersville is reaching across oceans to share their blessings with people in need. The church hosted their first meal packaging event partnered with nonprofit Rise Against Hunger. It was an idea they got from a youth summit that they felt was important enough to bring back to their home church.

The City of Delphos is gearing up to help feed people around the world for their second annual Rise Against Hunger event. 

Citizens of Delphos came together with one goal in mind: to put together meal packages for the organization Rise Against Hunger.
