3 Area Rotary clubs are combining efforts to host the largest food drive in 2021

When 3 members, of 3 different area Rotary clubs learned that many (almost all) food drive events had been cancelled in 2021, they started to brainstorm ways to help restore Feed My People’s coffers. Over the last several years the Chippewa Valley After Hours Rotary has hosted a variety of food related events in an effort to support their mission, Eradicating Hunger in the Chippewa Valley. Our typical event (pictured) brought together teams of volunteers across the valley to pack nonperishable meals, this event has provided Feed My People with thousands of meals each year.

“Maintaining safety is a major priority for our families and partners”, says Kaylynn Winegar, Charter President of the After Hours Club, “in an effort to support Feed My People in a big way, our partners, Eau Claire Noon and Morning Rotary Clubs are helping to host Rotary Feeds the Valley”. Spanning over a month, Rotary Feeds the Valley gives participates various ways to participate:
