Edgemont family launches The Million Meal Project, a nonprofit organization, with a goal of packaging and distributing 1,000,000 meals to families in need all over the world by 2028. The organization will partner with global nonprofit Rise Against Hunger and other local organizations to host monthly meal packaging events over the next five years. The first event will be held on Saturday, November 19 at Greenville Elementary School in Edgemont.
