Rotary Day of Service

Food Collection
24 January 2015 the Rotary club of Kemptville and local churches are joining forces to combat the issues of hunger and food insecurity in our community. Members of the Rotary club of  Kemptville will collect donations for the House of Lazarus  at the churches of Kemptville to assist people and families who are having difficulty obtaining adequate healthy food. Donations of non-perishable food and cash will be accepted next Sunday Jan 25^th.

Hunger touches our community every day. When people are hungry and can't afford to buy adequate food, they turn to their local food banks, food pantries, and soup kitchens. In January after all the holiday festivities, which include special events and food drives, some of these organizations find their shelves a bit bare

  “Rotarians believe that no child should ever go to bed hungry.”

Organizers from the House of Lazarus have stated that they cover a wide geographic area and the need is great.  Any donations and help are always appreciated.

Rotary members, as volunteers, conduct projects to address today’s humanitarian challenges, including illiteracy, disease, hunger, poverty, lack of clean water, and environmental concerns while encouraging high standards in all vocations. Rotary members strive to build goodwill and peace, and provide humanitarian service in their communities and throughout the world. For more information, visit http://www.kemptvillerotary.ca
