We maintain our on going support for Food Bank.
The general demand for support from the Food Bank hubs located across the state has risen. Our current practices involve the preparation of family food packs for distribution through those hubs, The clear increase in demand experienced over the past months is an one indication that more people are struggling under with the costs of living. Our actions are helping serve the needs or some families.
We still maintain two teams, one of which is centered Rotary members while the second is staffed by Friends of Rotary. Currently one of our teams works each Monday of the month.
Historically, the program involved volunteering monthly on Fridays preparing food hampers which then moved to a weekly cycle. Covid changed things dramatically and we have again settled into a different routine referred to previously. No matter what we do, we work along side other volunteers in a productive and cheerful environment to complete our designated tasks. There certainly is a degree of satisfaction in knowing we were contributing to the successful operation of a respected, valued and needed organization.The nature of our input has changed according to the needs of the organizations and the societal pressures placed Food bank.
