SUMMARY:Wi-ACT Rise Against Hunger Volunteer Meal-Packaging Event
DESCRIPTION:Each year members of the Wilton community come together to participate in one of the most gratifying\, heartfelt volunteer efforts\, the Wilton Interfaith Action Committee‘s (WI-ACT) Rise Against Hunger Meal-Packaging Event. \nThis year’s meal packaging falls on Saturday\, Oct. 19\, when 700 Wilton volunteers will come together to work across four\, two-hour shifts over the course of a very full day\, to make a difference in the lives of children living in food insecurity around the world. \nIn full\, over the seven previous years of this event\, Wilton has packaged more than 1\,000\,000 meals\, each one providing a highly nutritious meal in a compact package. What’s more\, the program nourishes children in mind as well as body\, as recipient children are fed in educational settings\, helping contribute toward breaking the cycle of poverty and malnutrition. \nWilton Rise Against Hunger volunteers also help meet food sufficiency needs here locally as well\, by bringing non-perishable food items to the event for local food pantries. \nFor this year’s event\, Wi-ACT has set the same goal as last year of 150\,000 meals to be packaged in one day\, but financing for the bulk ingredients to meet that goal has become a bigger challenge this year. WI-ACT pays for the meal components in advance from the organizer\, highly rated nonprofit Rise Against Hunger\, Inc. at a cost of 31 cents per meal. That’s a bargain for these highly nutritious meals that feed over 400 children (at the 150\,000-meal level) for every day of an entire year but that price is an increase of two cents per meal over previous years and presents a major part of the financial challenge of again reaching the 150\,000-meal level\, to the total of $3\,000. \nA new feature of this year’s event will be a 40-ft. ocean-going container on site at the WEPCO Church Complex (36 New Canaan Rd.) where the meal-packaging is done. Some meals will already be pre-loaded from other events\, but the majority of the meals it will contain are to be from this Wilton event. Once the Wilton event ends and all of the meals packaged that day in Wilton have been loaded\, the container will be sealed and immediately driven dockside to be loaded on a ship and delivered\, most likely to Somalia. \nAnyone who would like to volunteer for meal-packaging is welcome to participate. Individuals and families (with members as young as 7-years-old who take on the very important “runner” responsibility\, up to senior citizens) can join in the work to make it an uplifting and exciting full-family experience! Interested participants can sign up for a shift online. \nOrganizers are asking for community members to consider donating to help pay for the bulk ingredients so that Wi-ACT can hit the goal of 150\,000 meals. All funds raised go to pay for those bulk ingredients. Donations can be by check made payable to “Rise Against Hunger\, Inc.” noting “Wilton CT event” on the memo line\, and should be mailed to 6 Glen Hill Rd.\, Wilton\, CT 06897\, or donated directly to Rise Against Hunger for this Wilton event at a Rise Against Hunger\, Inc. website dedicated for the Wilton event.

SUMMARY:Rise Against Hunger Meals-packaging Event
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers Needed to ‘Rise Against Hunger’ for Wilton’s Largest Community Meal Packaging Event \nSince 2011 friends\, neighbors and family across the Wilton area have been gathering on the third Saturday of October to package meals for Rise Against Hunger. It’s the largest single-day Rise Against Hunger volunteer event in New England. Last year more than 600 volunteers packaged 137\,000 meals. To date\, over 1.5 million meals have been sent to otherwise starving children around the world. \nThis year’s event — as always\, sponsored by the Wilton Interfaith Action Committee (WI-ACT) — is on Saturday\, Oct. 19. Organizers once again have set a food packaging goal of 135\,000 individual\, highly nutritious meals packaged in one day — enough to feed 400 malnourished children for an entire year wherever the need is greatest. \nWords can hardly do justice to this joyous volunteer experience\, but so many past participants say taking part is one of the most uplifting and meaningful things they’ve ever done. More than 100 people in a room work together while doing something that will literally save lives — creating life-sustaining meal packages — is soul-sustaining for everyone who volunteers. Community members of all ages work side-by-side to do incredible good. \nThis event depends on two essential factors: the purchase of bulk ingredients for the meals and volunteers to package them. Many generous donations have been made by congregations\, businesses\, and individuals to purchase the ingredients. As in the past\, along with Wilton faith institutions\, ASML and the Wilton Kiwanis Club are leading the way for the corporate and nonprofit levels. As an added treat\, RISE Doughnuts will once again provide doughnuts for volunteers after their shifts. \nTo succeed Wi-Act needs community members’ support. Donations can still be sent to Wi-Act Treasurer\, 36 New Canaan Rd.\, Wilton\, CT 06897. But the primary focus now is seeking volunteers. \n“From 7 years old on up\, all are welcome to join us for this wonderful experience\, either alone or with your whole family\, including grandparents\,” Wi-Act Chair Steve Hudspeth said. \nThe event is held at WEPCO (36 New Canaan Rd\,) and volunteers can sign up online for two-hour shifts\, starting at 9-11 a.m.\, 11 a.m.-1 p.m.\, 1-3 p.m.\, and 3-5 p.m.
