On Saturday, April 13, the Effinger community’s Rise Against Hunger meal packing day will be held at the Effinger Volunteer Fire Department. The day’s goal is to pack 10,000 meals for Rise Against Hunger to distribute worldwide.

Forty to 50 volunteers are needed for setup and cleanup of work stations and for the packing of meals for shipment. Those available to help set up should be at the firehouse at 8 a.m. Those assisting in meal packing need to be on site at 8:45 for instructions. Packing will start at 9 and conclude by 11:30. A hot dog lunch will follow the event for all to enjoy.
