Feed the Hunger Packathon Recap
$5,846 was given for the Family of Rotary Packathon this past Saturday, mainly by our chapter and matched with the district grant. This equates to 20,879 meals/servings. 46 people from three of the four local chapters and ACC Rotaract packed 17,520 meals. Normally, we have each station pack 4,000 servings. However, Rotarians packed 7,000 meals per station on Saturday.
The balance of the food that Rotary sponsored was packed during previous shifts by staff and families from the Emergency Department at ARMC. Many came after they had worked a full shift in the ED, but they were grateful for Rotary giving them the chance to serve.
The food packed over the course of the event will be headed to three locations: local families through the Salvation Army, preschool children in Bangladesh, and refugee families fleeing ISIS in northern Iraq.
