Rise Against Hunger meals shipped to Philippines

Meals packaged by 140 volunteers at the Rotary Rise Against Hunger event have shipped to the Philippines.

The Rise Against Hunger organization emailed San Marcos Rotary to say that “healthy meals are on their way to a community in urgent need of nutrition.”

The Philippines consists of more than 7,000 islands in the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean. One of the most environmentally disasterprone countries in the world, it faces near constant threats of natural disasters like earthquakes, typhoons and volcanic eruptions, according to Rise Against Hunger.
