The San Diego Coastal Rotary club would like to invite all Rotarians in the 5340 district to participate in a fun and important service project.  We currently need more volunteers!  Here are the details:
 
  • Who and how many: We need a minimum of about 50 Rotarians to package 10,000 meals (the minimum). If there are too many volunteers, I will work on making shifts throughout the day or consider more than one day. For safety considerations, this event is limited to District 5340 Rotarians & Roteractors only and not friends and family. 
  • What: Packaging dry food (that can be made into quick full meals by adding water and heating) with The Outreach Program. https://outreachprogram.org/
  • When: Saturday, September12. 
  • Why:  Many people  are experiencing food insecurity due to economic downturn. These are easy to make, healthy meals that will be distributed safely and locally by San Diego Food Bank.
  • How much: To create 10,000 meals, it costs $3000. Each volunteer will donate $50 to join in. This will be a tax deductible donation directly to the Outreach Project at the door. 60 volunteers would allow us to break even. If we go over (say 61-100 volunteers), it will simply be a direct donation to the Outreach Program. If we get 100 volunteers or more, we will work on creating a second event for another 10,000 meals.
