COVID-19 Update:

To meet the needs of children and families who are counting on us now more than ever, our organization is seeking to resume meal packaging activities, following CDC guidelines and local regulations, and maintaining utmost care for the safety of our volunteers, staff and beneficiaries. Please visit riseagainsthunger.org/eventsafety for more information.

They may look like simple bags of rice and soy, but Rise Against Hunger meals represent the hopes and dreams of people worldwide. Our volunteers are the heart of our mission to end hunger by 2030 and we could not send millions of meals around the globe each year without them.

Since 2005, our volunteer groups have packaged over 500 million meals, and each year we engage hundreds of thousands of volunteers globally. We rely on groups of any size in locations across the world to package our meals - this is where you come into play.
Get Started

Our Rise Against Hunger Experience events provide a fun, educational way for groups to literally lend a hand to people in critical aid need across the globe. We combine an assembly line process with an educational experience to not only make a huge impact worldwide, but to touch the lives of those in your group.

Step 1: Complete our interest form. You can expect to hear from a Rise Against Hunger team member within one business day.
Step 2: Think about the impact you want to make for people in need around the globe! Our events are perfect for volunteers ages 4 to 94, and one person can package about 250 meals in two hours. We'll work with you to design the perfect event for your group.
Step 3: Fundraise to reach your goal using our helpful tips.
Step 4: Let us come to you! Our events can be facilitated in most regions of the globe and we send a hunger educator to your location to take care of the event logistics and educate your group about world hunger.
Step 5: Get excited and package meals! We bring music, stylish hairnets and stories of true impact to you for hours of fun and team building.
Are you interested in volunteering locally outside of our meal packaging events? We are always looking for behind the scenes assistance! Fill out our interest form to get started.

Most of us have seen the photographic works Edward Curtis made during the early part of the 20th century. In 1906, he received $75,000 from JP Morgan to produce a series on North American Native Americans. The unspoken subtext: indigenous Americans were a disappearing race, and thus important to document. It was only a matter of time before they would all be culturally and/or physically extinct.

Just over one hundred years later, the history, politics, and experience that comprise Native identity are as controversial as ever. Not one treaty made between indigenous peoples and the U.S. government was ever honored. Each one was amended and altered, and sometimes outright revoked. Stereotypes remind us that there are multitudes of problems and indigenous populations have high rates of suicide, poverty, violence, and addiction. If we are to become the country we say we are, there are many past hurts that need acknowledgment, many injustices that require resolution.

Neither a history of injustice nor stereotypes tell the whole story. There is also resilience, strength, beauty, and self-defining identity. The Indigenous Rising and Idle No More movements have signaled a new phase in Native consciousness, not only as Americans but as citizens of this planet. In this critical time of climate change, native voices are resounding with wisdom and perspective about the importance of honoring and protecting our planet.

As a child, I knew I was different from the other children at school, but I could not articulate what that difference was. I was troubled when the textbooks we read spoke about Natives in the past tense-always implying that we no longer existed.

We are still here.

That's why now, in the 21st century, I am setting out to make a new record. It's time to for us to tell our own stories of who we are and what is important to us. Why portraiture? I am interested in one powerful aspect of the process. I make a portrait as a message to the future-as a statement about who my subjects are in this moment. I ask, just before I press the shutter: "What, through this image, would you like your descendants to know about you, your life-your experience?" With this question, something happens: a gravitas, a moment worthy of recording.

When you see these portraits, you may find we no longer look like you think we ought to. But that doesn't mean we are not here. It's time for a new record of Native America.
