Speaker:
Stop Hunger Now -
The New Motto is "Rise Against Hunger".
Rise Against Hunger is driven by the vision of a world without hunger. Thier 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.
In 1998, envisioning a world without hunger, Ray Buchanan — a United Methodist minister — founded Stop Hunger Now. In 2017, Stop Hunger Now rebranded to become Rise Against Hunger. After enlisting as a U.S. Marine during the Vietnam War, Ray Buchanan quickly recognized that accomplishing a mission required “commitment to something larger than yourself.”
Driving Rise Against Hunger’s work is the recognition that ending hunger is more than just feeding people, which led Rise Against Hunger to focus its feeding programs in areas where we can have a real impact and expand its hunger-fighting programs beyond meal packaging and distribution. They use three approaches to work towards ending hunger:
- Meal packaging – volunteers produce millions of nutritious meals annually that are distributed to partners in countries around the world.
- Responding in Natural and Man-Made Crisis – these in include droughts, floods, and conflict zones.
- Grassroots community empowerment –improve agriculture skills and methods to help train communities to be more self sufficient.
