Rise Against Hunger
Dear Churchill Road Elementary School families,
We hope you will sign up to volunteer and donate for our annual Langley Pyramid Rise Against Hunger event! This is a wonderful Langley pyramid tradition, and we want to make sure our families can participate in any manner they see fit.
As many of you remember, we held our last Rise Against Hunger event in February 2020. This event was a huge success and provided a wonderful service learning opportunity for children and adults of all ages.
On Saturday, February 4, 2023, families in the Langley Pyramid are joining together again this year to help children in need. In partnership with Rise Against Hunger, the Langley pyramid elementary, middle, and high schools are coming together with a goal to prepare 83,000 meal packages for schools and orphanages around the world.
Donate and help raise money for the event:
Elementary and Middle School students may donate in school January 3 - 20. Each meal costs only 42 cents to make. For just $15, you can donate over 35 meals; $30 will make over 70 meals and $100 will make nearly 280 meals. You may make your tax-deductible donation today at: http://events.riseagainsthunger.org/LangleyPyramid2023. When rehydrated, each meal package feeds 5-6 people. Throughout our efforts, our students will understand how their family’s contribution will help impact nearly 500,000 people.
In order to reach our goal of 83,000 meals, the Langley Pyramid needs to raise $35,000 by January 27th. If your company makes matching contributions, please consider having them join you in making a tax-deductible donation today at: http://events.riseagainsthunger.org/LangleyPyramid2023 and help us Rise Against Hunger.
Volunteer for the event: (Sign up opens today - January 3rd!!!)
If you have children at multiple schools, please register your child with their current school (e.g., Smith family has 2 children at Churchill Road, 1 at Cooper, and 1 at Langley). Enter "Quantity" as the number of volunteers attending. If for any reason you need to cancel, please cancel through the Sign-up Genius to make those slots available to other Langley pyramid families. Being a popular Langley pyramid event, please sign up early as volunteer slots will fill up quickly. Children ages 4-12 must be accompanied by an adult. On the day of the event, volunteers package meals based on the amount of money raised, so it is recommended that if you wish to volunteer for the event, please make a monetary donation.
We package meals based on the amount of money raised and our Langley pyramid goal is $35,000 which provides 100,000 meals. With each meal feeding 5-6 people, this is a wonderful event that impacts 500,000 individuals around the world and broadens the perspective of our students and families.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Pierson-Barr
Principal
