Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Chula Vista CA

Total Budget: $5,000

Area of Focus: Maternal and child health

Activity Type: Food/Agriculture: Volunteer Services

Summary: assemble 18,000 meals using 55 volunteers for the Stop Hunger Now Program


Our Club will coordinate as its 2016 Rotarians at Work Day Project a hands-on community-wide event to package 18,000 meals in under 3 hours using 50 volunteers under the direction of Stop Hunger Now. We will purchase the ingredients, secure the project site, recruit the volunteers and help assemble the meals. Volunteers include area high school students needing community service hours, members of our club, families (ages 4 and up) and community minded citizens. Stop Hunger Now will provide a facilitator and the equipment. Over 70% of Stop Hunger Now meals go to support transformational development programs such as school feeding programs, early childhood development programs, vocational training programs, orphanages and medical clinics. Another 10% is reserved for immediate response to crisis situations including natural disaster, conflict and famine. This will be the 3rd year our club has done this project. Our community response has grown each year.

Chula Vista Sunrise RC has posted two District Grants on the Matching Grants.org website asking for a total of $4250. in DDF. Clubs will be allowed a maximum of $3500. in DDF in this Rotary Year 2015-16; it can be distributed over more than one grant but it cannot exceed the $3500. limit. These grants will need to be modified to reflect a $3500. DDF amount for both of them or one of them will need to be dropped.
