๐ฒ AUGUST FOOD DRIVE โ SERVICE ABOVE SELF ๐๐
August is here, and itโs already time for another Rotary Club Of Brisbane International Food Drive โ continuing a commitment that has been at the heart of our Club since our Charter
This month, we are incredibly grateful to welcome back one of our regular and long-standing supporters โ the Chauhan Family โ Manoj Chauhan & Kirthi Chauhan & Family.
Year after year, the Chauhan Family are among the first to put their hands up to support us โ whether itโs sponsoring our Food Drives, supporting our charity fundraisers, or through their children giving their time and energy to serve with our Rotaract Club.
They may often serve from the sidelines, but their contribution makes a very real difference.
Service Above Self comes in many forms โ and families like the Chauhans show us exactly what that means. ๐
๐ฒ MORE THAN 15,000 MEALS โ AND STILL COUNTING
Since the Charter of the Rotary Club of Brisbane International, our commitment to helping people experiencing homelessness and hardship has seen us prepare and distribute more than 15,000 hot meals.
Behind every number is a person โ someone sleeping rough, someone struggling to make ends meet, or someone who simply doesn't know where their next hot meal is coming from.
Homelessness isn't always visible. Rising living costs, housing pressures, family breakdown and unexpected circumstances can change someone's life very quickly.
Our Food Drive cannot solve homelessness โ but a hot meal, a friendly conversation and knowing somebody cares can make a difference.
๐ A SPECIAL MENTION โ Sadhu Prasad UNCLE
A separate and heartfelt acknowledgement must go to Sadhu Prasad Uncle, who is always there to lend a helping hand.
Quietly, consistently and without expecting recognition, he continues to support our Food Drives whenever a hand is needed.
Sadhu Uncle, thank you for simply always being there. โค๏ธ
It is people like you who remind us that Service Above Self isn't about recognition โ it's about showing up, lending a hand and making a difference.
To the Chauhan Family, our volunteers, Rotarians, Rotaractors, Ansary Muhammed at Merciful Servants, Gail Pope Maxwell Harrower from Mission Possible Volunteers community partners and everyone who continues to support this journey โ thank you.
15,000+ meals served. Thousands of conversations. One community coming together.
Service Above Self.
Create Lasting Impact.
Turning Conversations into Action.
