RALEIGH, NC

RISE AGAINST HUNGER, INC. was formerly known as STOP HUNGER NOW, INC. and is a nonprofit organization with a mission to end hunger globally by delivering food aid and creating a worldwide commitment to mobilize necessary resources. Founded in 1998 by Ray Buchanan, the organization rebranded as RISE AGAINST HUNGER in 2017. It operates with a vision of a world without hunger by focusing on impactful feeding programs, crisis response initiatives, and community empowerment projects around agricultural production. The core strategies include organizing global volunteer efforts to pack millions of nutritious meals annually, distributing these through local partners who best understand regional hunger conditions, thereby addressing root causes including education, health, gender equality, economic growth, and child labor. RISE AGAINST HUNGER also responds swiftly to crises, whether natural or man-made, ensuring efficient aid delivery during emergencies. Empowering communities is a key objective, achieved by improving farming techniques, providing business skills training, and enhancing market access. Additionally, it encourages diversifying diets through fishery and livestock production programs.
