We are requesting a matching grant totaling $3,000 ($1,500 from the Garden Grove Rotary Club and $1,500 from District 5320) for the purpose of stocking two emergency food and supply pantries at the Buena Clinton Youth and Family Center and the Magnolia Park Family Resource Center in Garden Grove, California. This project may also include food distribution events at both centers. Provisions will include non-perishable food items such as canned food, diapers, baby supplies and personal hygiene items to be stocked at the emergency food and supply pantries. The project will also provide the pantries with perishable food items (fruits, vegetables, crackers, etc.) to be distributed at the special food distribution events.
This project will start August 1, 2016 and end by May 15, 2017.
The GG Rotary Club will participate jointly with:
-Buena Clinton Youth and Family Center (BCYFC), 12661 Sunswept Avenue, Garden Grove, CA
-Magnolia Park Family Resource Center (MPFRC), 11402 Magnolia Street, Garden Grove, CA
Project Budget:
$1,500 to purchase food and supplies for BCYFC Emergency Pantry and Food Distribution Events.
$,500 to purchase food and supplies for MPFRC Emergency Pantry and Food Distribution Events.
Staff at BCYFC and MPFRC will work with the GG Rotary Club to develop needs lists, provide assistance for stocking pantries and to conduct special distribution events. Purchases will be made from local businesses for cost effective pricing.
At least 10 members of the GG Rotary Club will participate directly in this project, meeting with BCYFC and MPFRC staff to develop needs lists, purchase food and supplies, stock pantry shelves and participate in special distribution events. Photos will be taken to document related activities and club members' involvement.
The beneficiaries will be approximately 1,500 individuals (500 families) from the Garden Grove community who are suffering from stress due to housing/job displacement, domestic emergencies and other crisis situations.
Funds will be deposited and disbursed from a special "grants projects" account at F&M Bank. All expenditures will be documented and approved by the GG Rotary Club Board of Directors.
This grant will enable the Garden Grove Rotary Club to continue its successful partnership with two important service outreach centers to meet critical needs of the Garden Grove community. This grant builds on work that was started with the Club's prior District matching grants projects.
