Thanks for having us to volunteer for this great cause!

Last week we had the pleasure of hosting the Rotary Club of Champaign! We appreciate them taking the time to volunteer and help pack bags of food for local kids across our community.

Fun fact: Many years ago, this Rotary Club helped with the initial purchase of the green and blue bins we still use today. Their support has made a lasting impact on Feeding Our Kids and the students we serve each week.

Thank you, Rotary Club of Champaign, for your continued partnership and commitment to helping local children thrive!
