We received word this week that the 10,000 meals packed by GRSP students at our Leadership Weekend are on their way to Ukraine. The conflict in Ukraine has caused one of the fastest forced population movements since World War II – millions of people have left the country or are internally displaced. As food production and supplies are disrupted by the conflict, many people do not have reliable access to sufficient nutritious food. The Global Hunger Index, which assesses food insecurity based on indicators that measure undernourishment and undernutrition, categorized Ukraine as having a “low” level of hunger prior to the conflict starting in 2022.
