About Us

Logo of Rise Against Hunger emphasizing food and community.

Rise Against Hunger New York operates on a straightforward premise: hunger is solvable, and the solution runs through organized, high-volume community action. At the 60 Milltown Road facility in Union, NJ, volunteers gather to measure, mix, seal, and box nutritionally complete meals destined for food-insecure populations across the globe. The work is physical, purposeful, and measurable. Every session produces a documented meal count. Every box shipped represents a family fed.

The organization draws volunteers from schools, corporations, faith communities, and neighborhood groups throughout the New York metro area. A perfect 5.0 rating across 19 reviews reflects not just satisfaction but conviction. People return because the impact is tangible and the coordination is tight. There is no ambiguity about what gets accomplished in a Rise Against Hunger packing event. The numbers are posted. The meals are real.

This is not a passive charitable gesture. Showing up means rolling up sleeves, working a production line, and leaving with a specific count of meals packed by your own hands. That accountability is built into every event Rise Against Hunger runs, and it is the reason the model scales from a handful of volunteers to thousands in a single session.

What We Offer

Volunteer meal-packing events form the operational core of everything offered at this location. Groups book sessions, arrive at the Union facility, receive a brief orientation, and move immediately into production. The format is structured and efficient: stations are assigned, roles are clear, and the pace is set to maximize output without sacrificing quality.

Corporate team-building events, school service days, and community group sessions are all accommodated. The experience functions as both a high-impact service activity and a genuine team exercise, one where participants leave with a concrete number, not a vague sense of having done good. Organizations looking to meet CSR commitments, fulfill service hours, or simply act on a shared value find the format immediately usable.

Event coordination, volunteer training, and logistical support are provided on-site. Groups of varying sizes can be placed into scheduled events or work with the team to arrange a dedicated session.
