(Atlantic) The Atlantic Rotary Club teamed up with other Rotary Clubs in the southern half of Iowa and supplied nearly 400,000 meals to families and individuals impacted by COVID-19.
The Club donated $500.00 cash through Rotary District 6000 to the Food Bank of Iowa and its sister Food Banks, which can provide four meals for every dollar contributed. Subsequently, the food is distributed on an equitable formula to local food pantries in communities throughout the southern half of the state.
“Service above self has long been the motto of Rotarians throughout the world, and our club saw the need to help,” said Atlantic Rotary Club President Brian Harris.
In addition to the donation to the Food Bank of Iowa, the Atlantic Rotary Club also donated $1,000 in cash to the Atlantic Food Pantry.
