Burleson Area Midday Rotary Club to Host Rise Against Hunger Meal Packing Event with Student Volunteers
The Burleson Area Midday Rotary Club is organizing a Rise Against Hunger meal-packing event scheduled for November 17, 2026, at the Burleson High School Cafeteria in Burleson, TX. The event aims to bring together 150 student volunteers to pack over 20,000 nutritious meals for children and families globally. Volunteers will work in an assembly line to measure, funnel, weigh, seal, and box ingredients such as rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables, and vitamins into meal packets. The packing session is set to run from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, following a setup period starting at 4:00 PM. This initiative provides a hands-on service opportunity for students to contribute to global hunger relief efforts. Participants will be assigned to various stations on the packing line, with no prior experience required, and will receive guidance from Rise Against Hunger staff and Rotary volunteer captains. Food safety guidelines, such as wearing closed-toe shoes and tying back hair, will be observed.
