Rise Against Hunger
Annual Church-Wide Meal Packaging Event
Rise Against Hunger is an organization, which gets food and life-saving aid to the world’s most vulnerable people, and works to end global hunger in our lifetime. Established in 1998, Rise Against Hunger has provided over 374 million meals in 74 countries. Rise Against Hunger is based in Raleigh, N.C., and operates throughout the U.S. and through affiliates in developing countries. Visit www.riseagainsthunger.org for more information.
Every day 30,000 people die of starvation. That is 1,250 people per hour, one person every 3 seconds. In 2010 Church Of The Servant partnered with Rise Against Hunger in the mission of ending global hunger! Members and friends of Servant have packaged 1,319,824 meals since then.
Rise Against Hunger has become a part of who we are at Church of the Servant. For many of us, it is our most favorite Sunday of the year. It is impacting and shaping our world, our church and our families in ways we could not have foreseen.

Kenya mission
"Update on Kenya" by Ann Knutson, Kenya Team Coordinator
Servant has had an ongoing relationship with Maua Methodist Hospital in Maua, Kenya since 2013. Teams of 10-12 have visited Maua in 2013, 2017 and 2019. Pilgrimages in 2020 and 2021 were canceled due to COVID. We are scheduled to return in February of 2022. The official tentative dates are February 10 - 23. Normally, we start planning a trip like this a year in advance, however, due to the unpredictability of travel regulations caused by COVID, we will have an informational meeting in this fall. For more information, please contact Ann Knutson at annknut@gmail.com.
UPDATE: COVID in Maua
As of mid-June 2021, the hospital has been able to fully vaccinate their staff with the Astra-Zeneca vaccine. Maua Methodist Hospital has been designated as a vaccine distribution point in central Kenya. So far, however, only doses for the hospital population have arrived. Please pray with us for more vaccine to arrive so that the subsistence farmers in the area, few of which have insurance, can be protected from COVID.
