Rise Against Hunger Community event
I hope this email finds you in the best state of health and Iman.
We are glad to announce an upcoming “Rise Against Hunger” food packaging community event. ISG will be participating jointly with St. Peter's Episcopal Church.
In shaa Allah the event will be held at the UIC on Saturday, October 28th from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. Volunteers from ISG and St. Peter's church will work together to package 27,000 meals that will be distributed to needy and hungry people around the world through the Rise Against Hunger Organization (riseagainsthunger.org). St. Peter’s Episcopal Church has already donated $5,800 to fund 10,000 meals. ISG is donating the funds for 7,000 meals, which is $2,030. Kids 7 years and older are invited to join the packaging event if they are willing to help and if they will stay under their parents’ supervision.
This has the potential to be a great event, but we need your help in two ways:
1- Make a donation to the ISG team to help us meet our commitment of raising $2,030. Use the link below under the name of the Islamic Society of Greenville at the Rise Against Hunger Website. All your generous donations will be accepted to reach our goal.

2- Volunteer on Saturday, October 28th at the UIC and help us package 27,000 meals so you can represent our religion and our community as well. PLEASE NOTE, YOU MUST REGISTER USING THE SAME LINK ABOVE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP. You can volunteer for setup from 12:30 – 2:00 pm AND/OR volunteer for meal packing from 2:00 – 4:00 pm. This will allow us to have an accurate headcount in advance so we can be prepared and organized. Remember, no children under 7 years old should be present at the event. Children ages 7-14 must be under a parent’s supervision during the event.
This event is a great way for our community to show the beauty of our religion and how we care about those who are in need as Allah Subhanahu wa Taalaa ordered us. It is also a great opportunity for us to build bridges and develop good relationships with the larger Greenville community and our neighbors while working together towards a good cause.
Please remember the words of our beloved prophet Muhammad PBUH when he said:
(("O people, exchange greetings of peace, feed people, strengthen the ties of kinship, and be in prayer when others are asleep, you will enter Jannah in peace."
Narrated by [At- Tirmidhi].
Let us all come together to make this event a success while serving Islam and gaining the reward from Allah (SWT).
