When Maddy Owens, age 8, volunteered at Rise Against Hunger with her school, she knew that she wanted to have a direct impact in ending world hunger. During her neighborhood garage sale, Maddy set up a snack stand. She was able to raise $115, which she put toward packaging two boxes of Rise Against Hunger meals with her friends. Maddy hopes to continue to raise money for Rise Against Hunger in the future and continue to package meals in at the organization’s Atlanta location.
