Thank you Rotarians! The Power of a Dollar
Over the month of November Rotarians brought boxes and bags of rice to our November Rotary luncheons as we worked to fill the Second Helpings pantry! By observing the “Power of a Dollar” (the cost of a box of rice), we collected 209 lbs of food! Second Helpings uses 105 lbs of rice each week as part of the 20,000 meals prepared! The Rotary effort will provide rice for 2 weeks of meals, nearly 80 organizations! Almost half of the organizations are children at Boys and Girls club, low income day care centers and after school programs. Also served are Wheeler Mission, Julian Center, Damien Center, other homeless shelters, senior centers or community gatherings. Second Helpings is a local nonprofit that prepares 4,000 meals per day for local families and local nonprofits to serve their clients.
