Rutgers is working to make a difference in the lives of those suffering from hunger. From food drives to 4-H programs, from grocery-shopping advice to agricultural research, Rutgers Against Hunger (RAH) aims to increase awareness of hunger and encourage community service to help those in need. RAH will enlist Rutgers students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the concerned public in efforts to stock food banks, provide consumer education on nutrition, deliver technical and organizational support to community groups, and conduct research toward improving food production, packaging, and distribution.
As a member of the Rutgers community, you can make a difference, and you can make a difference now.

- ELIJAH'S PROMISE IN NEED
Elijah's Promise has been serving meals to the homeless and needy in New Brunswick since 1989, but today it faces a crisis. A 21 percent increase in the number of meals served combined with a dramatic decline in donations may force the soup kitchen to discontinue some of its Tuesday Lunch programs.
