Join us on the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, January 20, 2020.
Over 300 volunteers will work together to package 130,000+ meals to be distributed in Durham, Orange, Wake, and Johnston Counties through the Interfaith Food Shuttle. This project is a collaboration between 15 District 7710 Rotary Clubs, Duke University, Interfaith Food Shuttle, and Duke School.
As a key participating club in this District Grant, we are looking for broad participation from our club. Last year, this event sold out. Please sign-up early. Click HERE to register.
We are also conducting a food drive, beginning immediately, to help re-stock the food pantries at Durham Tech and North Carolina Central University after the holidays. We are asking members to consider bringing non-perishable items at each club meeting for the next 6 weeks leading up to the event. Bring donations to our club meetings, or if you are volunteering bring donated items to the January 21 event.
The most-needed items are as follows:
- Protein: cans or pouches of tuna, salmon, or chicken;
- Peanut butter (jelly or jam too!);
- Shelf-stable microwaveable or canned meals (e.g. chili, beef stew, ravioli, etc.);
- Rice (boxes or microwaveable pouches);
- Pasta, noodles, and jarred or canned pasta sauces;
- Boxed macaroni and cheese mixes; ramen noodles;
- Dried or canned beans;
- Canned vegetables;
- Canned or dried fruit; and
- Cereal, granola bars.
