On Sunday, UCF’s Panhellenic council and Feeding Children Everywhere teamed up to bring the third annual Pack to Attack Hunger to UCF.
Starting at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday morning, student volunteers gathered at the Venue for a one-hour meal packaging event to help feed hungry children around the Orlando area. This year’s ingredients included lentils, white rice, vegetables and pink Himalayan salt. Volunteers were set up in teams around the building, and with 60 minutes on the clock, the team assembly lines began to package as many meals as possible in an hour.
By the end of the day, with an all-time high of over 600 volunteers participating, 151,200 meals were packaged and over $38,000 was raised for the cause.
Feeding Children Everywhere is a social charity that empowers and mobilizes people to assemble healthy meals for hungry children and UCF did just that on Sunday.
UCF Panhellenic Council Vice President of Community Involvement Adi Graff is proud to have helped bring this event to campus.
“The Panhellenic Council is proud to bring the UCF community together to make a tangible difference by hand-packaging meals and feeding hungry children in the Orlando area,” said Graff.
Zeta Tau Alpha’s head Pack to Attack coordinator, Stephanie Sobolewski echoed Graff’s sentiments.
“Participating in Pack to Attack Hunger has been one of the most rewarding experiences I have had in Zeta. I had so much fun working alongside other Panhellenic women to raise money and spread awareness about the Feeding Children Everywhere organization. Being that hands on made me feel like we were really making a difference in our Orlando area,” Sobolewski said.
