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.
