Benchmark International Tampa Team Packs 20,000 Meals with Rise Against Hunger

January 28, 2026

Benchmark International’s Tampa office recently hosted its fifth annual Rise Against Hunger meal-packing event, bringing together over 90 volunteers for a meaningful day of service. This year’s effort exceeded last year’s impact, with 20,000 meals packed — up from 19,000 the previous year — all supporting families facing food insecurity worldwide.

Rise Against Hunger is a global nonprofit dedicated to ending hunger by providing nutritious meals to communities experiencing high levels of food insecurity. These meals are often distributed through school feeding programs, supporting nutrition, education, and long-term health for children and families in need.

This year’s event was even more special thanks to Titus O’Neil, a former professional athlete and respected philanthropic leader, who joined our team to lend a helping hand. His presence reinforced the power of community collaboration and a shared commitment to creating meaningful change.

We sincerely thank everyone who volunteered their time, the team that coordinated the event, and Benchmark International for funding this initiative. Together, we stay committed to supporting organizations that make a real, lasting impact.
