Hillcrest High students recently packed more than 26,000 meals for children around the world.

Students involved in the Hillcrest High Chick-Fil-A Leader Academy hosted a Rise Against Hunger Field Day, to raise funds for the meals. In addition to raising funds, the Field Day was a memorable experience for students from Hillcrest High, The University of Alabama REACH Program, Hillcrest Middle School, and Duncanville Middle School.

Students from a variety of Hillcrest High service clubs joined the Chick-Fil-A Leader Academy students to pack the meals. The Rise Against Hunger Meal Packing Experience combines an assembly line process with an educational experience to make an impact worldwide, and to touch the lives of those involved.
