Savannah Rhodes, 10, is happy to help feed other students around the world Oct. 21, 2017 as she carefully weighs a 13.58-ounce rice-soy fortified meal for Rise Against Hunger — a Raleigh, N.C., charity determined to end hunger by 2030. This fifth grader at Terra Centre Elementary School in Burke will be 23 years old when that goal is achieved. She and nearly 200 local residents participated last fall in a food drive along Burke Centre Parkway between Ox and Old Keene Mill roads. “Burke Gives Back: Changing the World” returns Saturday, May 19, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Terra Centre Elementary School at 6000 Burke Centre Parkway, where volunteers will package 20,000 dehydrated meals in just four short hours. Learn about more community service activities Saturday and Sunday online at burkegivesback.org or call Burke United Methodist Church at (703) 250-6100.
