What can 500+ volunteers do in one day?

Fill an entire shipping container with nourishment and hope! Earlier this week, volunteers gathered at CURE Insurance Arena in New Jersey, for “Trenton Plates, the World Takes,” a day of service hosted by @crosscommunityinc. Since 2024, the annual event has brought together churches, schools, businesses and community groups to take action against hunger. This year, volunteers packaged more than 285,000 meals — enough to fill a shipping container! Our work focuses on supporting communities as they move toward self-reliance, and these meals help make this possible! The meals will be distributed to complement nutrition, education and economic empowerment programs that fuel long-term food security and resilience. ➡️ Learn how to host your own meal packaging event at the #LinkInBio.
