Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Evergreen, MT

Total Budget: $10,000

Area of Focus: Economic and community development

Activity Type: Community Development: General

Summary: Purchase technology for Veteran's Food Pantry to enable Veterans and non-Veterans to check out medical equipment and search for jobs. Rotarians will purchase hardware and software, educate on resumes, job searches, and interviewing skills.


Northwest MT Veterans Food Pantry outreach includes veterans, their families and non-veterans alike. It has been an integral part of the Evergreen Community since Feb 22, 2005, when it started in a shed by a local couple Allen and Linda Erickson. No one is turned away that needs food, clothing, shelter and a helping hand. Evergreen is a community that is growing and is primarily a lower income area. The technology that the pantry has is obsolete. We would purchase upgraded computers, software, printers, supplies, and a scanner that can be used to check out medical equipment and track inventory. With instruction from our club, we are going to commit to assisting with job search, resume building, interviewing and dressing to get the employment they need to support themselves, their families, and their communities.
