More than 250 first-year Marymount students received a hands-on lesson on the university\u0092s commitment to service when they packaged 10,000 meals for Rise Against Hunger, an international relief organization that distributes food and aid to the world\u0092s most vulnerable people.<\/p>\n
The effort was all part of the Marymount\u0092s annual Saints Serve day held Aug. 25 in the Lee Center\u0092s recreational gym on the main campus. Each meal contained a grain, soy, and a vitamin package. Students sealed all meals and boxed them for shipping. Rise Against Hunger not only provides hunger relief to underdeveloped areas globally but also crisis relief to populations in immediate need, like the recent victims of Hurricane Harvey.\u00a0<\/p>\n
