On Thursday, September 4th, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the Rotary Club of Le Roy will hold a food collection event at the Save A Lot parking lot, 15 Main, Le Roy. The Backpack program supports the many children and their families who may go hungry on the weekends. After receiving your donations, dedicated volunteers load backpacks for the children to take home, ensuring they have something to eat while not at school. Items needed are boxes of cereal, instant oatmeal packets, single-serve mac and cheese, apple sauce cups, ramen soup, fruit cups, pudding cups, and healthy snacks. Monetary donations can be made at the Le Roy Save A Lot. Your generous donations are greatly appreciated.Rotary is the world’s oldest and most important service organization with over 1,100,000 members in more than 30,000 clubs spread throughout 160 countries, working to eradicate polio from the Earth. Locally, we are a group of like-minded people who are passionate about giving back to Le Roy. Annually, we award over $32,000 in scholarships to Le Roy students, fund youth sports and bicycle safety, support the Backpack program to feed hungry children locally, and fund neonatal treatment to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa.
We meet on the third Wednesday of each month at Settler’s Select Restaurant, 37 Main St, Le Roy. Feel free to join us from 7:30 am – 8:00 am.
