Project Description Country: USA Location: New York Total Budget: $4,000 Areas of Focus: Disease prevention and treatment, Maternal and child health, Community economic development Activity Type: Food/Agriculture: General Summary: Provide food supplies for families in need Through a club survey, we determined hunger issues to be a major focus area for our club. Food insecurity has become an even bigger issue since the COVID pandemic. Our Club will identify food-insecure families to be recipients of food baskets. Each basket will supply food items such as rice, cereal, lentils, cooking oil, salt, sugar, flour, and protein bars, that will provide nutrition and basic food necessities. Our Club Rotarian service components include: - Working with community partners to identify families, - Acquiring food, bags from local stores; - Assembling baskets; - Setting date and delivering directly to recipients. Addendum to Project Description (added after the project was signed) Our project is being carried out on different dates and at different locations. We collaborated with the new Pioneers Rotary Club in D7230 (chartered in October 2024) as one location of the project was around the area where many of their members live. Some of their members helped in the purchase of the items.
