Menlo School students package meals for Rise Against Hunger

On Wednesday afternoon, May 28, Menlo School students packaged 10,000+ meals consisting of rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables and vitamins in just two hours with the international nonprofit Rise Against Hunger. It was the final day of a multi-day meal packaging effort at the school; in total 30,000 meals were packaged.

This meal packaging event is part of a longstanding partnership between Menlo School and Rise Against Hunger. Since 2015, Menlo School has hosted nine meal packaging events, packaging over 93,000 meals that have been distributed in the Philippines, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cambodia and more.

With the three days of events this year, the school will exceed 120,000 meals packaged with Rise Against Hunger.
