Hundreds of Furman students headed to Timmons Arena on the evening of Aug. 30 to pack more than 30,000 meals for Rise Against Hunger<\/a>, an international hunger relief organization. The Heller Service Corps<\/a> joined the Fellowship of Christian Athletes<\/a> and Furman University Athletics<\/a> to sponsor the event. Students packed bags containing a month\u2019s supply of food for a family of four and then loaded the bags up for delivery. In addition, FCA raised $3,900 during a 24-hour fundraiser.<\/p>\n

This is the second year<\/a> that Furman has hosted a Rise Against Hunger event, said Nancy Cooper, Heller Service Corps coordinator.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing so many hands working together was truly inspiring,\u201d said Cooper. \u201cIt was another amazing event, and we are already looking forward to it next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
