1. 1. Since we cannot gather in person this year, Rise Against Hunger & Wake Tech Office of Volunteerism & Leadership are sponsoring a virtual event called Gather for Good. Gather for Good is an online trivia game and fundraiser that students and staff can participate gaining educational information on RISE’s mission, the expanding need for mitigating hunger due to the pandemic and economic crisis, and join in on a fun trivia. You can either “join a team” to play trivia for free (green button) or make a donation at any time (red button).
