Hunger Fight was so extremely organized. We hosted an event to pack and provide 1 million meals for the Utah Food Bank. I was impressed by their ability to be efficient with both the time and resources necessary to coordinate the thousands of volunteers. Their hearts are in the right place as well. Highly recommend!
I am a current board member and have known the founders of Hunger Fight for over 5 years. I have also participated at several Hunger Fight meal packaging events and they are some of the most rewarding, engaging and exciting team-building experiences anyone can have. The organization is well run by experienced operators with an exceptional and contagious ability show how impactful this organization is to the community. I am very proud to be a small part of what makes this organization so great.
Hunger Fight is passionate about empowering the next generation of young people through regular access to nutritious food and books! My wife and I started working with them at their packing events several years back, and their professionalism and caring have kept us coming back as volunteers and donors.
We were first introduced to Hunger Fight during an educational event. We were immediately blown away by the mission of the organization to keep food in the stomachs of hungry children. It resonated immediately with me the idea that hungry children are not in a position to learn and take the most away from their educational experience. I feel fortunate to almost never miss a meal and yet their are thousands of kids in our community that go to school hungry and without nutrition. We have also participated in the packing events for some great teambuilding!
I have known Dean and Sherri Porter and have participated in their Hunger Fight food packing events since 2021, and have been a board member since 2023. They feed children! And they do it so well! There is no higher calling for a non-profit. They are good people working so hard and making a tremendous difference in our community. I would give 10 stars if I could!
I have seen firsthand the good they do in our community. Always going to donate because I see the results. They don’t waste the money.
Hunger Fight is an amazing organization, diligently working to eradicate hunger and food insecurity right here in our local communities. They do an awesome job getting volunteers and organizations involved in their mission.
Fantastic organization and a great way of engaging employees to get involved in a non-profit organization that will provide team bonding and a real purpose in being part of your community.
Hunger Fight is one of the best organizations I have ever had the privilege of being associated with. How can you not love an organization that cares about two groups that are vastly under-served - kids and the elderly?
The two-pronged mission of feeding the bellies, feeding the brain, is the basis of everything they do. This organization provides food and books for tens, if not hundreds of thousands of kids and elderly throughout the United States.
Sherri and Dean Porter have done a magnificent job in getting this program started and taking it's message throughout the US. What started as a small non-profit in the Jacksonville area has now grown to serving people in many states.
Their packing events, aka three hours of controlled chaos, are wonderful! They are a great team building exercise and a great way to get people together to support a fabulous cause.
I have been honored to be associated with Hunger Fight and help to raise awareness for this amazing company.
"Hunger Fight is an extraordinary organization that truly makes a difference in the lives of those facing food insecurity. The impact they have on the community is both inspiring and heartwarming. The events are incredibly well-organized, and the atmosphere is always filled with positivity and a genuine sense of purpose. Volunteering with Hunger Fight is a rewarding experience, knowing that every effort contributes to feeding those in need. Their commitment to their mission is unwavering, and it’s clear that they are passionate about ending hunger. I highly recommend getting involved with Hunger Fight—it’s an amazing opportunity to give back and be part of something truly meaningful!"
My church of volunteers from Word of Oasis Church and I have been part of Hunger Fight from day one! We look forward to this event every year, which has a tremendous impact on the lives of children in the Valdosta/Lowndes County community.
They are very organized and efficient. Very easy to work with. Everyone had a great time packing meals. Even had Christian music playing to keep everyone uplifted.
well- providing food for those in need. community involvement. improve- please work on the cheesy Mac recipe. no one at the food pantry wanted them😔
Hunger Fight is an amazing organization. Today our Cathedral packaged meals for a senior citizen community, food pantry and the homeless. It was an amazing event to be a part of. Hunger Fight organized the stations, provided all the materials for three different food packages and the volunteers fill/sealed the packages. Hunger Fight then boxed the packages for delivery. I would highly recommend your organization or church host this wonderful charity! We had a blast!
This was a great experience. The team was very well prepared and set up, and made it easy for us to complete appx 17,000 bags of food while sharing a fun and amazing sisterhood experience! I want to do this again and again
This was such a fun and meaningful activity. We bonded and had a great time working together for a great cause!
Bringing people together to give the underprivileged children an equal shot is a beautiful way to serve humanity!
This nonprofit hunger fight is amazing. They are friendly, quick to set up, make everyone feel welcome in this event, and also with our agency they worked with us when we had changes that we had to do. They were accommodating. There is nothing I would change about them. We love them, and we will continue to use them and spread the word about them to other organizations.
I love how much they've grown and the amount of clients they can serve! The packing events are just so much fun and meaningful. I'm proud to be able to give back with HungerFight!
I have been aware of Hunger Fight for 3 yrs. I work with them on a professional basis. They help so many in our community! This is truly a great place to give to those in need.
It was a great time with great people. It was a joy to work with other teams from our community to serve others.
Hunger Fight has a great mission and the meal packaging event was wonderful opportunity for our Company and Family to have fun in a service project and learn more about the poverty and lack of nutrition in our community.
Great organization!
My students really enjoyed the event.
This was a great opportunity to give back to the community!
They are extremely well organized! I can't think of anything that would improve the nonprofit, except to have more locations join in. Great opportunity to pay-it-forward!!
The organization was great. Everything was explained and the process was quick and easy. I think they did a great job!
This was my first time with volunteering with the Hunger Fight it was Amazing to see everyone coming together for a great cause along with meeting and working with new faces along the way. Awesome job and thank you \uD83D\uDE0A
The mission of this nonprofit is inspiring. As a Christian, I enjoyed volunteering with this organization knowing I was making this community better--that's ministry!
Hunger Fights mission is amazing and the fundraising event is phenomenal in getting the community not only to donate but to actually be part of the mission in helping with the preparation of meals.
Hunger Fight is serving children by providing meals and books to those that may not otherwise have access to them. They also rally the community to be involved in this cause.
They were well organized on the event. Everyone has very helpful and so kind. So a wonderful program and glad I was a volunteer today.
This event was so exciting! I think the music was a wonderful motivation. I brought children with me to help and a couple of them were not so happy to be there but as we got started they were instantly engaged and worked hard without even realizing how long we worked. It was an honor to be a part of this program and I hope to help again soon.
From meeting Ritchie Pickren until working alongside him and his team I am and have been thoroughly impressed and I look forward to doing it again and again and again.
I think Hunger Fight is doing a tremendous job feeding and helping educate children in our community, as well as, surrounding areas. It's been our distinct pleasure to be a part of such an amazing organization. Looking forward to next year's event (2023).
Very well organized. Look forward to volunteering next year. I love the diversity of people, and the food that we package stays in the local area.:-)
Absolutely a great time for a great cause. Only change I would make us to add a person to open the bags at the oatmeal station.
My late husband worked with Dean so me and my family will continue to support Hunger Fight . The packing event is always fun and inspiring. I had our daughters, son in laws and our grandkids this past Saturday. We are continuing to serve and minister like my husband did. Thank you Dean and Sherry and the volunteers for your service .

Donna - THANK YOU for all you and your family continue to do for the community.
How they pack the meals. How it is done and the process. I find it extremely wise. So the donations that is given can be used to help as many as possible.
This nonprofit is doing well with their organization, coordination and execution of their fundraising events and distribution of product.
The energy in the room is excellent and there all very nice. There isn't much of anything I'd say they need to do better in.
I love the organizational skills that were displayed along with the leadership. They kept everyone working, happy, and having fun with great music!!! I don't see any area where they need to improve.
They provided an amazing opportunity for our organization to serve and give back food to our community! It was a fun and rewarding team building event for our whole team!
The way they get the community involved by participating in a fun and inspirational team building event is simply phenomenal! They only thing I think they can do better is getting even more business partners and having more events!

Thank you for your kind words. We are working hard to get the word out to more businesses and organizations about hosting their own events.
Hunger Fight's packing event was a fantastic employee community service event for us here at Tom Nehl. Our employees had a great time, and felt great about helping kids in Northeast Florida.
This was a great event for a great cause. It means a lot to contribute my time to help kids in need.
Very happy I could be apart of this amazing organization. The staff were very friendly and professional. It felt good to volunteer for an organization that gives back so much to families in the Jacksonville community!
They were amazing in explaining how to do each station, keeping us motivated, and restocking/ grabbing us anything and everything we needed!
What an awesome opportunity to serve the community in which I live. Hunger Fight makes it easy to serve. Organized, friendly and practical.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve with my children today. Everything was well organized, clean, and done efficiently. It was a great experience to help pack the boxes of food today!
We got to serve our community in a fun way and meet new people. This nonprofit helps people by doing their best
Great program for a really great cause. Our third time volunteering and it is always very organized and successful.
Great organization! They are doing such great work helping the community and helping other organizations help the community!
The whole process is so easy to follow and the meals look amazing! Overall Hunger Fight is amazing, I'm so glad the people in our community can get the meals that they need.
I am very thankful that it exists in the first place to give food to those who need it. I'm just glad they have a new bag sealer, the old one was difficult LOL! You all are doing great \uD83D\uDC97
I had the privilege of volunteering for the 2nd time for the food packing and boxing of meals and it was well organized, and you could tell the care and work that is put into getting meals out to the surrounding community! It has been a blessing for me and my family to be able to be a part of packing and handing out meals to then hand out right in our community! Looking forward to the next packing night!
A great opportunity to multiply your impact in serving the community's needs. Fun atmosphere, great teamwork.
Such an amazing cause and it was ran in such an awesome manner! Feels great to know that we helped feed so many families
Being a part of something that gives back is an amazing feeling. Thank you for all you do for the children
It was awesome getting all our employees together so we could pass along to good fortunes that we experience daily
I was pleasantly surprised at how well organized and quickly they were able to set up for such a good cause
It was my first time and it was a awesome experience can't describe in words the feeling I got participating the atmosphere was just awesome I look forward to this being something I do again
It was great experience knowing that this organization is helping kids in need, both educationally and providing meals for them. It's something I care deeply about and was glad to be involved.
This non profit organization was putting together Beans N Rice packages. Along with the help from KIA staff and volunteers they were able to complete their goal. Although more hands on deck is always helpful they made a system that moved along smooth and effectively. I was glad to have helped and blessed that people and organizations like this exist.
Doing well in everything. Really awesome to spend some of my time helping fill the food bags for kids.
In Lake City Fl I feel like there should be more advertising. I do not see advertising for Hunger Fight besides in my work place

The non profit is doing an awesome thing for society, and helping the issue of world hunger. I don't see any flaws in this organization, the most important thing is giving back.
This nonprofit means a lot to me as I love seeing people actively coming together and taking the time out of their day to help out their community without financial compensation. The team members seem very sincere and earnest in what they do, ultimately being an inspiration for others in Jacksonville and motivators in getting others to take part in helping the community.
This is a very interesting service project that allows me to ultimately give back to my community and doing so while hanging out with friends.
They allow people who are not able to get food to get that food they need to be healthy and have energy to do things they want to do
Being here is rewarding because I get to give back. I am blessed to be very fortunate but others aren't. This allows me to help the other people
Volunteering makes me feel good about giving back to the community and knowing that my time is helping kids in the community have a meal.
This is important to those that are in need for food. Therefore, it's important to me. Hunger Fight is very well known and I hope it stays this way because it's a great way to give back.
This nonprofit is doing a wonderful job at giving back to the community! I am honored to be able to volunteer here!
This is very cool because we can give back to those who may need and talk with friends and great people
It is super fun being able to help and give back to the Jacksonville community. Packaging the food is an enjoyable experience with friends and family.
I love giving back to the community and helping in any way I can. This nonprofit is doing a phenomenal job with organization at the UNF event.
It is a great opportunity to volunteer here and to give back to the community. I enjoyed volunteering today.
It's a great environment full of great people. It's a really great way to give back to others and enjoy doing it with the community around you!
Amazing opportunity to partner with a great organization that cares and loves for their community. Very grateful for the heart of hunger fight. Thank you for what you do and thank for loving the Lord and being obedient to His calling.
It's an excellent and fulfilling event connecting families and to the community. Great activity for the kids.
I am sorry hit the wrong button on first question this was the best event I've been to all year. They did everything right
They were wonderful!! Very helpful and kind people. It's nice to do something for such a great cause. You had the sweetest volunteers helping run this event! Thank you so much and don't stop doing this.
The energy is great. The story behind why they do what they do is very inspiring and told well. To see the founder and their family involved is also great. Awesome experience.
Hunger fight is doing well at keeping everything organized when volunteers arrive. They explained everything very well and kept up the energy through the entire event!
This is an awesome organization doing wonderful things for children around North East Florida. Keep up the great work.
It is such a good feeling to know that you're helping feed some hungry child. But it is also a helpless feeling knowing you're only scratching the surface of the hunger.
The assembly line was perfect for a quick and easy assemble. What Hunger Fight is doing for our community is beyond amazing. Honored to be able to serve. Will definitely be back!
Fantastic job with getting volunteers educated and organize throughout the entire event never missing a bit to keep things running. Very high energy from staff they kept our team motivated and focused.
This is a well run organization filled with caring professionals that make giving and volunteering for a good cause fun. Dean and his hunger fight tram rawk the house
Providing meals to those in need. I love the new slogan "well fed and well read". It's amazing to hear all the things they are doing
Very organized, helpful, and all went very smoothly! Excited to help and hear about all the families and schools that this food helps. Team building and encouraging to see how working together provides thousands of meals! It's very easy to join in and accomplish a huge goal
HF has a vision with understandable goals that are easily communicated. They are able to inspire, mobilize, and effectively reach these goals of feeding the underserved young bodies and minds of a community through their efforts. They do so while respecting the time of their volunteers, and by continually motivating them. Great group, well organized. It's a pleasure to work with Ritchie and his team. We are all in going forward.
Love what Hunger Fight is doing for the Big Bend community. I truly believe that most people don't realize how many families are hurting and can't afford to have food in the house. That's why it's important for organizations like this one to exist. The opening of the event was the best part because it really hit on the why. It's sad that once kids leave school on Friday's there's no telling what they will eat over the weekend. To top it off, you have holiday weekends, the Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, Spring Break and Summer Break.
Great experience. Everything was organized very well and efficient. We were able to come in and get started right away and get a lot of work done in a short amount of time. All the workers were very helpful. It was a great experience for our family and we would definitely love to do it again. No recommendations for improvement, we were very impressed.
Very well organized by stations to complete the process. The sign in process was slow so less meals were packed.
Awesome experience working as a team to achieve a goal to feed the bellies of hungry children and promoting reading to fuel the brain!
Wonderful people doing amazing work to make a huge difference in the lives of those who are in need.
Great job and set up. Great energy, wouldn't change much except set up more tables and aim for 20k units!
Enjoyed working with Ritchie to coordinate the event at a Trulieve site Qincy on 10/29. All Hunger Fight Team members professional and excited about being here! I would request a list of items/utilities Hunger Fight would need. This list may have been given to another Trulieve team member. Appreciate Ritchie coming out to site a couple of weeks before event to review location. Music and cow bell brought in by Hunger Fight helped keep a positive atmosphere. Thank you and look forward to partnering again with Hunger Fight!
I am Mary Susan Head. You are loved and blessed beyond measure. All my money I give freely to you. Love you all soooo much!
Keep changing the world one day at a time, thank you for doing AN AMAZING JOB.
I am so proud to be a small part of this worthy cause, an incredible organization . They have this down to a science, very organized and so easy to work with. So many children, senior citizens and families who are in need of nutritious hot meals will benefit and I would do this over and over again!!

I love that my kids and family can help too. It's a great family activity while giving back! I think the only way they can improve is to expand their reach even further, but they are constantly working on that as well.
They doing a great bringing the community together and spreading their word to help others. They're doing a great job and so nice and friendly with everyone also very helpful too. They don't need to change anything.
Hunger fight is an amazing organization that helps combat the lack of resources in deprived areas in the world. The only way I see that there could be improvement is to feed more people.
The Hunger Fight is doing awesome! I volunteered for the Haiti Relief Packing event and the room was filled with loving people for one common goal. For improvements, I believe getting a local Haitian a part of the project would be great. So the volunteers could learn more about the culture while helping pack meals as well.
They have a super friendly staff with great organization. It's super easy to step in and be a part of helping those in need.
Very sime concept, everything was set up and ready for the volunteers to get started packaging the meals. Very very very nice Hunger Fight employees.

Hunger Fight is well organized, professional, friendly, and a great group that wants to feed the children. In addition, they offer a reading program associated with Dolly Parton. Bottom line, Hunger Fight is a top shelf nonprofit and I would encourage anyone to get involved.
Mobilizes & organizes volunteers extremely well. Very clean operations area with plenty of space. Articulates very well their vision & mission to meet huge needs of local children served. Laser focused on just a few needs, not trying to "do it all".
Hunger Fight was well organized and efficient. Fox News was displayed upon my immediate arrival and check in. I would suggest changing this norm immediately as Fox News does not support or encourage the the identities of all volunteers. Creating a space of psychological safety is valuable
Amazing -- well organized and great vibes. Love the food construction process and ingredients. Thanks!
All of the staff was very kind and friendly. We packed lots of food efficiently while having a great time! The music was really fun. I had a great time:)
Thanks for the opportunity to pack tasty meals for those less fortunate than us. A very worthwhile program.
We first volunteered with Hunger Fight as part middle school community project for my daughter. The entire Hunger Fight team were so helpful in sharing what makes this a passion project for them and how the program improve the lives of families in Northern Florida. We’ve enjoyed meeting other volunteers in our community as well as neighboring communities and look forward to the packing events as a way that we can continue to give back to the community. Thank you Sherri and Team for your efforts and making these events possible!
This Hunger Drive was an amazing experience that I took part in to give back to the community. The process was extremely easy and directions were explained well as to how to package meals. The Hunger Drive made me feel like I was doing something nice for other people who may be less fortunate. I would recommend to everyone who is inspired to help others.
As a teacher at a Title 1 middle school, I was very impressed with the organization, friendliness of everyone there and cleanliness of the facility. I will definitely be volunteering there again.
This organization is such a pleasure to work with! This is my 2nd time volunteering with them. They have a fantastic cause, are well organized, super friendly & encouraging while you work. They offer are variety of events at different times & locations. Highly recommend.
We have been helping for a while and we love great people to work with carried two of grandkids last night and really enjoyed it. It makes you feel good to know you are helping someone else. The whole staff does a great job.
Always an excellent experience. Enjoyed it!! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Feels great to be part of a team.
Great event! Very well organized and efficient. 2-1/2 hours of steady getting on it but WOW, it is crazy how you feel lighter/better/happier after the experience...joyful is probably the best way to describe it. Thankful for HungerFight with the huge impact they are making and proud to be able to help. I’ll be back, both physically and financially.
A great way to get people involved in preparing meals for those less fortunate and fighting hunger. Love meeting other people while packing food. Can’t wait to participate again. I urge others to come out and enjoy the experience or to donate to the cause
I absolutely love Hunger fight. I love how they are helping to feed millions right here in our own communities and in our own country. They are also providing books. Praise the Lord! It’s great to be able to be apart of the blessing; to be used by God to help other.
Partnering with HF was an awesome experience. High energy events that lead to high community outreach. Staff is amazing. Well organized. Great people and great partners in ministry.
This nonprofit is amazing! We are so blessed to have people who care for others needs. Helping and caring for this community is a great need especially during these tough times. Hunger Fight is well organized!
Very organized. Everything was pre set up and we'll thought out. Very informative and user friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed my time volunteering.
This is an amazing organization and it was an amazing thing to be a part of! I think they're perfect with everything they're doing!
They are extremely well prepared for their packing events. They are helping provide simply prepared nutritional meals for high risk individuals.
Feeding America is great. I've always had respect for anyone who Is willing to serve and help! I never realized before today how much work these guys put into this business y'all are amazing. Definitely a hard-working group good group of people for a good cause!
The organization is doing well with their system of preparing the packaged meals to be distributed. It worked very well for us this morning. I enjoyed meeting new people and the ability to serve our community as well as whom ever the food was packaged for.
I love what this organization is doing to end hunger. It was a awesome experience, volunteering with these people!
This nonprofit is taking the liberty to feed children who are in need of food during their times of being on break from school. Applause!
Awesome program that has a heart for youth in Jacksonville and surrounding areas. Sad to think that so many go to bed on a regular basis with nothing to eat. Thank you Hunger Fight for all that you are doing to conquer hunger and illiteracy.
The nourishment they provide for the people who need it is amazing. They are very organized and were able to get a group of people who have never worked together to work efficiently towards a common goal.
I believe they are doing a very good job helping the community. No more improvement is need as of now
The organization, the skills and the enthusiasm of this group was beyond any that I have volunteered with in the past
Worked on a massive project with Hunger Fight in Jan 2020. We packed over 1 million meals in 2 days. They were fantastic to work with--well organized, incredibly hard working, strong leadership, and driven by their cause. Would definitely work with them again.
I volunteered to help lead tables at an event where Hunger Fight was the driving force. We were prepping over 1,000,000 meals to fill a local food bank. It was a huge undertaking and there were a lot of ways this could have gone wrong, But- because of the heart and experience of the Hunger Fight Team, everything went right! I was highly impressed with the level of organization, communication, and eye for detail of this team. The were highly energized and everyone rolled up their sleeves and got to work. Even when volunteers and others at my tables had questions, their team was patient and positive with presenting answers and solutions. As a volunteer this was the best experience I could have hoped for. And guess what...? We did it. 1,000,000 meals!
Hunger Fight was great! The only confusion was how many cheese packets to include as that seemed to change a lot based on where we were volunteering and when. Also, a completion plan as lines start to run out of food and where to send volunteers.
Hunger Fight was so organized and chalk full of great tips and information while we were packing meals. Their training was straight forward and extremely easy.
Hunger Fight was so great to work with! Their process was simple and the experience was fun and fulfilling. Definitely one of the best service opportunities I've ever had!
Hunger Fight was well organized, happy to answer any questions, and put in countless hours to help us meet our goal. Great company!
The main man in charge was very rude and disrespectful. He yelled at me and multiple others for mistakes that we didn't make and embarrassed us in front of a large group of people. Extremely unprofessional and immature. Other than that, I love what Fight Hunger is doing for the community:)
One of the few charities where you feel like you’re making a real difference. Fantastic leadership that has ensured a health and consistent growth for the organization over the last 7 years. I can’t wait to see Hunger Fight in every state, and hopefully in every country!
This was an incredible event ! Easy to participate in and very organized and straightforward. The meals we assembled were simple and entire family could participate in making. Also the recipients of the meals could make easily (a child could make for himself in the absence of an adult present). Fighting hunger is a world problem . But with organizations like this they break it down to a manageable task we all can contribute to!
I was so impressed at how organized this event was. I wondered how it would be possible to provide 1 million meals in such a short timespan, but they had it all figured out. With the bulk bags of ingredients lining the walls, tables setup with easy to use equipment, and staff on hand to make it run smoothly. I work for a nonprofit that feeds hungry children on the weekends, and believe me, I was taking notes. They really have it figured out!
We had a lot of fun helping to prepare the meals and meeting new people. The only thing that bothered me is that those managing the tables weren't very consistent with how they were doing things. We had been placed at two different tables and the first one felt like it had a good flow and people were enjoying it and getting the work done fast. The second one felt very rigid and if we weren't going fast enough then people were complaining and they were more picky about how things had to be done. This is a volunteer thing and so I know it won't be perfect, but lets do what we can to make it enjoyable so that people will have a good experience and not walk away thinking how uncoordinated things were and felling like they just finished a day at work, when they should be leaving feeling like they had a great time and are excited for the next opportunity to serve.
Hunger Fight made possible the service project I recently helped with. We assembled 1,058,000 macaroni and cheese packets for hungry Utahns. The project was so much fun! Everything was set up when I arrived so I just jumped right in where they assigned me. When it slowed down I found other ways to help so I could stay busy. It felt good to get together with strangers and work together for a good cause. I’d love to do it again!
Fantastic people running an incredible nonprofit! I was able to spend time meeting and serving beside the people behind hunger fight. They are very organized and there with you from start to finish. This nonprofit is going places. Join them!
My girls and I had a great time volunteering last weekend, helping to package over 1 million meals to benefit the Utah Food Bank! Thank you for all you do!
It was great to see so many volunteers put to work. A problem we encountered was grape vine instruction that ended up half sugar and half oatmeal for the cereal . It was wasteful and unhealthy. A laminated card on the table would have improved quality. Thsnks for the opportunity to serve.
I had a great time volunteering with Silicon Slopes Serves and packing food for the hungry. It was very organized, great environment and welcomed fun. Felt great to serve!
It was so great to participate in packing more than 1 million meals in two days, at Silicon Slopes Tech Summit! I had a lot of fun with all the great people that helped on my line! I wish I’d have had more than 1 hour to help!
Really great experience! I was impressed with how organized the entire event was and the staff were all very helpful. I would definitely participate again in the future.
Well organized when we arrive with helpful staff. Today's event was a team building event for my team. They kicked butt! They made a competitive game out of it and asked to stay longer. They laughed together and worked hard together. We will be back next year. I'm coming Friday night with my kids. We came last year as well as a family. Such an easy way to serve with kids.
My experience today was amazing! All the volunteers were very friendly and helpful. I am planning to volunteer every year. Thanks for allowing me to help serve my community!
Things ran quickly and efficiently. The staff were all kind and helpful. We thought it was well organized and were impressed at the amount of work and time put into this event.
Everything was so organized and easy to jump right in and start doing good. Happy, hardworking people spreading joyful service
Extremely well organized and efficient. No wasted time and made us feel our time was well used. They made serving fun as well.
I am more than impressed. I am a high school teacher and this is right up my alley. My hope is to host an event with my students at Oakleaf High School. Thank you for the opportunity to assist!!
What they are doing is amazing. My brief participation was an eye opening exhilarating experience. They are well organized, fully prepared and committed to their cause.
My grandkids went with me as a birthday gift to me. They are ages 11,10 and 8. It was well run and so easy for each one of us to do one chore. There was not a lot of waiting around bored time signing up. It was a wonderful gift.
The set up was excellent. Training quick and simple. Music was great. Bringing in groups in stages worked very well. If we can have supplies to refill stacked against wall so we can refill without finding someone would be great
I was very impressed today. Everything was so well organized. Everyone was very pleasant and friendly and made you want to participate. I would love to do this again!!
The event was well organized. The volunteers were given instructions on their duties. Everyone was cheerful and helpful.
The Hunger Fight meal packing event was very well organized and appeared to be very successful! I think more advertising for their organization would help as I was not aware of them or what they do.
I think Hunger Fight is doing everything right to serve the community, and to make a great difference by showing great love and care that is impacting this world and helping to fight hunger!
Hunger fight was very fun and engaging and I think they got kids involved. To improve they could possibly let people do more if they want.
My family worked today to fill plastic storage bags with food to go in backpacks at title 1 schools. Too many children face an empty pantry at home. We were happy to help. And thank you to ChicFilA for sponsoring
It was our first time volunteering for this project and we were very impressed with the organization and quality service.
They are doing absolutely amazing!! It was very organized and heart warming! I can't wait to volunteer again
What they are doing is awesome. I cant imagine kids going without food. It hurts my heart. Glad they are doing what they do
My Watson office participated in the hunger fight event for the second year in a row and helped pack meals. It is very rewarding and we love the concept of this organization
I've know this Nonprofit for a while now, and I know they are for real in their mission. I will always volunteer for anything their involved in. ED
The organization of the event was amazing. It was my first time and felt so amazing that we were helping our community to fight hunger.
My name is Cynthia Bolton, and my daughter is Cynthia Moore, she moved to Jacksonville FL she has a 1 bdrm and 2 daughters ages 9 yrs and 6 months. She has no furniture, food and I been asking for help because I lost my job and I can't even provide for her, I need someone to help her anyone please. She lives at 1591 Lane ave S. Apt F115 Jacksonville, FL
From what I've seen, this program is outstanding. They are searching out the needs and meeting them where they can. Energetic promotional activities and kind interested compassionate people involved!
My church supports hunger fight. I was has an honor to pack meals for such student/children that will be provided for free to the youth who are most in need. Keep up the wonderful work!
Hunger Fight is doing a great job of using the resources they've been given to make an impact for children and families in our community. Volunteering with them to make their vision for our city come to life is fun and rewarding for all parties. Keep up the good work!
What a fun way to volunteer your time for such an amazing cause...helping kids with meals when not at school. Peppy music, hard working people, shining their light to make others' lives better!
The people at Hunger Fight show great enthusiasm and compassion for the work they do for families in the community. The only drawback is the parking at their office which isn't enough for when they host big events.
I love Hunger Fight!! It is amazing and I love that when you volunteer everyone gets a chance to help! I think that everything is great the way it is.
Hunger Fight is helping children thrive in school by meeting their basic needs for food and books. I'm humbled to get to contribute to this important work.
Hunger fight's mission is wonderful! I feel like packing meals has a tremendous impact in our community. very organized and make it fun!
They are very organized and things went so smoothly. I'm so excited I am able to participate with a wonderful organization to give back to the community. I can't wait to do it again!
Hunger fight was well-organized, which made it easy to help accomplish today's goal of 45,000 meals. It was also very motivating to continue when they periodically told us how much meals we making throughout my time there.
Honored to have been able to serve along with Hunger Fight to serve children in our neighborhoods! Their packing events are not only fun but provide numerous healthy meals! You guys are amazing! Thank you for supplying Volusia School Fuel with substantial amounts of food that allowed us to stretch our budget and increase food supplied!
This non profit is doing an exceptional and needed work. Everyone setting up and assisting volunteers were friendly and efficient!
Everyone was so friendly, The event was very well organized. The schedule was right on time. Overall it was a wonderful experience!
Not only are they feeding the hungry, but they are also bringing communities together to work towards that goal!
I volunteered at my job. They came out to CIT and it was really efficient and well run. We bagged 10,000 meals. No one should go hungry but I do like the way they prioritize and try to feed people without the ability to improve their situation. ie children and seniors
The mission is so important. All the staff were super helpful, well organized, and efficient. they were completely ready for us when we came into the room. They explained very quickly what we needed to do and answered any questions. The assembly lines worked perfectly. To put together almost 11,000 meals in about 1 1/2 hours with only 5 assembly lines is phenomenal. It is a shame that there is such a huge need here, but thank goodness that Hunger Fight exists and it is helping impact so many lives. Really felt good. I hope we can do it again and it would be terrific if our company choose to do it more than once a year.
Hunger Fight brought a volunteer opportunity to us! The whole group was very energetic and made the whole experience fun!!
This organization is phenomenal. The families they feed off of just 1 packing if food is so heart warming. It's prepared with such order and love.
