While Rotary Clubs often host food drives on an annual basis for their local communities, it’s the first time 47 clubs in the Central Florida area are uniting to provide one million meals to Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.
Rotary’s “Million Meal Marathon” kicks off Oct. 30 and runs through Nov. 13.
The effort comes as families continue to experience the impact of lost jobs and other ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic. In a recent report, Feeding America estimated that one in seven people – and one in five children – in Central Florida live in households that may face food insecurity this year.
Every dollar that’s donated to the campaign can provide four meals. Financial donations can be made securely at www.RotaryMillionMeals.com.
