Christian Dement, age 9, was looking for a way to help feed children in need around the world. Christian said, “It isn’t right that some kids have more access to food than others.†He partnered up with his physical education teacher to organize a school Fun Run. Christian and his schoolmates were able to raise over $3,000 to package over 10,000 meals at his meal packaging event. Christian says he enjoyed working with Rise Against Hunger because he was able to team up with his fellow students to help children in need, and plans to continue to help whenever he can.
