Stop Hunger Now!

     On October 16, 2008, the five clubs of Zone 3 came together under the direction of Assistant Governor, Jeff Eldridge, to do something about world hunger. Five Rotary clubs from Yanceyville, Burlington, and Graham packaged 10,000 bags of family-sized (4 meals per bag), highly nutritious meals that were boxed, crated, and trucked to Raleigh to be added to a total of more than a quarter million meals.

     Those meals were then sent on by "Stop Hunger Now" to "Reach International" who distributed the food to Nairobi, Kenya, through an organization called Revival for World Crusade.
     This year, on October 18, 2009, those same five clubs put together 12,000 bags of four meals per bag. It has yet to be disclosed where in the world the meals will be sent. It will be reported here when we are notified.
     Great job, Area 3! And thanks, Assistant Governor Jeff, for your leadership.
     Here is a slideshow of the event.
