The Rotary Clubs of Nashoba Valley, Littleton, Acton-Boxborough, and Wachusetts Area, along with the Nashoba Regional High School Interact Club, the Maynard High School Interact Club, the Littleton High School Community Service Club, the Littleton High School Interact Club, and Workers Credit Union, sponsored the eighth annual Rise Against Hunger food packaging event on May 15, 2021. The goal was to package 20,000 meals in a couple of hours and for shipment to feed the hungry around the world. The group actually packaged 23,500 meals over several hours due to generous fundraising and a lot of overtime work from volunteers. The meals from that event were shipped in September in a container totaling 285,120 meals from Rise Aagainst Hunger's New York City warehouse.The meals will be received by its in-country partner Convoy of Hope in Haiti for distribution..
The meal packaging event took place at Littleton High School in Littleton, MA, held in the school cafeteria with windows open for maximum ventilation.
