MISSION
The local Rotary clubs have joined in partnership to serve the community in fighting hunger through meal-packing events. This partnership with the Menomonie and Chippewa Valley After Hours Rotary clubs is called Rotary Feeds. Our purpose is to:
1. Deliver a hands-on project with a local, national, and an international impact
2. Coordinate a community keystone project to engage service-minded groups
3. Grow a project to attract service-minded leaders to the best service club in the world, Rotary
IMPACT
Since this partnership began in 2011, over 1.3 million meals have been packed locally. The primary beneficiary of these meals have been local food pantries, such as Stepping Stones and Feed My People Food Bank. Also through Stepping Stones, meals have been provided to the Boyceville and Colfax food pantries as well as the Share A Meal (SAM) program through the Menomonie School District. One great accomplishment of Rotary Feeds has been the ability to pack more meals than we need locally. In the past we've had a surplus of meals that have been donated to areas where disaster relief is needed both nationally, such as Houston after hurricane Harvey, and internationally like Nepal, Syria, and Haiti.
MEAL PACKING
Our events are fun, fast-paced, and easy to run. People who share the same passion to fight hunger come together in teams to combine rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables, vitamins, and minerals into bags. Rotary Feeds brings the food and tools to pack, and we rely on business and organizations to provide the volunteers and donations to make the event happen.
