HUNGER IN THE WORLD… HUNGER IN THE UNITED STATES… HUNGER IN MARYLAND…

Unfortunately, this is the grim reality for many children right here in Anne Arundel County. As the economy continues to decline, the number of hungry children rises. Although they are fed nutritious meals at school, the weekends at home are often much different.

In an effort to sustain these children over the weekend, the Rotary Club of South Anne Arundel County, as part of its hunger initiative, is launching the Bountiful Backpack Project.

By providing several food items sent home via backpacks, the hope is that these children will not go hungry over the weekend.

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS

 

Club members, friends and volunteers will meet on Friday mornings at the designated school to fill the backpacks with food (food that Rotary has purchased or has been donated to the program). The designated children will collect their backpack as they leave school for the weekend.

 

On Monday they will return the backpack to school. If you would like to help, please visit our website for more information.
