Rotary Interact Clubs to Fight Hunger
Spring Food Drive by local Rotary Clubs and their High School Affiliates to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Cruz County
Santa Cruz—Local teen Rotary Interact Clubs have taken up Second Harvest’s
call to fight child hunger and malnutrition in Santa Cruz County. The members,
who are our future business and community leaders, will hold a food and funds
drive from March 30 through the end of May to benefit Second Harvest’s Food For
Children program. Members of the public are invited to contribute to the
grocery store drive on Saturday, March 23 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at select local
stores.
“Our partnership with seven area Rotary clubs really helps us keep hungry
kids fed when times are tough, and I am looking forward to seeing the community
turn out in support,” said Development Director Steve Bennett.
Teen members of Rotary Interact Clubs will collect food and cash donations to assist peers in need Whole Foods Capitola & Santa Cruz, New Leaf Capitola & Westside Santa Cruz, Deluxe Market Aptos, Mi Pueblo Watsonville, Grocery Outlet Watsonville, Safeway Aptos and Felton, and Scotts Valley Market.
