Rise Against Hunger

On May 15 in Draper, Utah, a gong rang out dozens of times — each time marking progress toward BambooHR's goal to package 130,000 meals with Rise Against Hunger. 📦 In just three hours, 900 BambooHR employees reached that goal, showing what is possible with dedication and altruism. The meals packaged that afternoon will provide over 600 people with consistent access to nutritious food for a year. The event was particularly special because BambooHR and Rise Against Hunger hit an impactful milestone together. BambooHR reached (and exceeded!) 500,000 meals collectively packaged since our partnership began in 2017! Want to engage your business in the movement to end hunger, like BambooHR?

Did you know ANY group can host a Rise Against Hunger meal packaging event? Corporations, churches, civic groups, schools and even family and friends can make a hands-on impact! The Pender family did exactly that in Foster City, California! After packaging meals with their church earlier this year, Camille, their daughter, was inspired to bring the experience to her own community. On May 5, Camille, alongside her siblings Caleb and Finley, invited 65 friends, family and classmates to package 10,000 meals at the local middle school. In just two hours, these volunteers made a lasting impact by providing critical nutrition and supporting education and economic empowerment for families around the world.

Every life begins with a moment of care — a mother holding her child, a caregiver making sure there’s enough to eat, a small decision that shapes what comes next. In honor of Mother's Day, we're sharing the story of an inspiring mother. In India, Sunita works in her community to improve the health of women and their babies. Check out the video to hear her story and see the impact of the first 1,000 days! The first 1,000 days of life — from pregnancy to age two — are crucial for a child's long-term development. With the right nutrition in those early days, children can grow, learn and thrive. Your support ensures mothers, like Sunita, and their babies receive the nourishment and resources they need during this critical time. This Mother’s Day, we want to say thank you for being a part of this work. ❤️ Give today in celebration of motherhood: https://hubs.li/Q04fgR000

Over the last five weeks of our Journey of a Meal campaign, supporters like you have helped plant seeds of hope around the world. But the journey isn’t finished yet. For Imelda in the Philippines, the journey is a turning point. Each week in Cagayan de Oro, Imelda shares a hot meal with her children through a community feeding program. What starts as a meal becomes something bigger: relief from financial pressure, strength for her family and the capacity to dream of what’s next. Through Rise Against Hunger’s partnership with International Care Ministries, Imelda is also gaining nutrition, livelihood and financial training — working toward her dream of starting a small business. Stories like Imelda’s remind us of the power of The Journey of a Meal.
