VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY!
Mar 21st – Annual Rotarians Against Hunger Meal Packing Event at Reuter Family YMCA in Biltmore Park Town Square. Rotary Clubs across WNC have been working together to fighting hunger through Rotarians Against Hunger since 2010, and the goal of this event is to package 350,000 nutritious meals including black beans, brown rice and white rice that will be distributed throughout Western North Carolina by MANNA FoodBank and the YMCA of WNC Community Health Nutrition Outreach Program. The meal packaging event is a fun, family-friendly and immensely rewarding experience where people of all ages can participate – individuals, families, church groups, civic organizations and businesses – come together, and package nutritious meals to help feed our neighbors.
Additionally a portion of the funds raised will go toward distributing seeds internationally through Seed Programs International. Seed Programs International, a non-governmental humanitarian organization which works worldwide provides vegetable seeds to impoverished communities in developing countries enabling them to grow some of their own food. The organization not only provides the seed, but gives expertise and hands-on assistance on how to successfully plant and harvest. This is a long-term effort to help cure global hunger.
