The Guinness World Records' record for the most hunger relief packages assembled simultaneously was 1,993 achieved by Valley of the Sun United Way at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, USA, on 25 October 2014.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most hunger relief packages distributed in 8 hours (single venue) is 302,311 and was achieved by the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ), in Barrio Maligaya, Nueva Ecija, Philippines on 22 February 2014.

    About 2,000 volunteers from Arizona State University and Valley of the Sun United Way joined together on ASU's Band Practice Fields on the Tempe campus to attempt to break the Guinness Book of World Records' Most Hunger Relief Kits Assembled record. They succeeded, assembling a total of 1,993 hunger relief kits in less than three minutes, beating the previous record of 1,000.

   Eighty-two thousand households in Maricopa County experience chronic hunger. Of those households, nearly half include children. For these children, weekends are an especially difficult time.

  Without school breakfast and lunch programs – sometimes their only reliable source of food – they may not have regular meals over the weekend.

   Volunteers assembled the food bags with non-perishable and easy to prepare meals to help more than 500 children overcome hunger each week and come to school Monday ready to learn.
