Last week, members of the Vail Edwards Rotary Club joined together with The Eagle Valley Community Foundation and members of the community to make Rice & Beans Casseroles that are already being distributed to locals in our community. 10,000 servings were prepared in our workshop, which was generously provided by . With over 65 volunteers and support from so many, we are beyond thrilled with how this project went. Thanks to the Rotary members who supported the program, The Community Market for helping to lead, and Vail Health for the space. Vail Valley Salvation Army and The Community Market will distribute the meals. Expect to see another Meals of Hope event in Eagle County in the future!
Our thanks to Olga Barron Photography for capturing the day!

Today we helped Operation House Blanket make 20 fleece blankets for locals in need of a warm blanket to comfort them. We got to work alongside members of the local DAR in service. Thanks to all who participated! Service Above Self, the Rotary way!
