Rise Against Hunger India calls volunteers to drive community changes

New Delhi :
Rise Against Hunger India is inviting volunteers from across sectors to support
its initiatives aimed at improving nutrition and food security.

The organization
provides fortified, pre-packaged dry meals–primarily uncooked khichdi mixes
enriched with essential vitamins and minerals–to vulnerable populations,
including women, children, the elderly and those affected by crises. These
meals are packaged by volunteers and distributed through community partners.

“We are offering
hands-on volunteering opportunities that enable people to contribute
meaningfully to addressing hunger and malnutrition, while engaging in
collaborative, community-driven activities,” said Mr. Dola Mohapatra, Chief
Executive Officer, Rise Against Hunger India.

Volunteers can
participate in meal packaging events that bring together families, students and
local groups. Physical volunteering is currently available in Delhi, Mumbai,
Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Jeypore and Deoghar.

In addition, a range of
engagement options are available for spending an interactive day with children,
delivering sessions focused on nutrition and basic life skills education, as
well as internship in both rural and urban areas.

For those unable to
participate in person, the organization offers virtual engagements such as
creating content on hunger-related issues, contributing articles and research,
documenting outreach efforts and undertaking online research on solutions to
hunger.

Rise Against Hunger
India also conducts a two-hour “Gather-for-Good” virtual engagement for
corporates, featuring insights on hunger and nutrition along with interactive
sessions.

“Everyone is welcome,
participants of all age groups can join, no special skills are required, and
there is no cost to participate.,” Mr. Mohapatra said.

Volunteers may also opt
for immersive community experiences, interacting with communities to better
understand food security and nutrition challenges.

The organization says
volunteering not only helps address hunger but also promotes community
development and meaningful engagement.
