-Pack the Sack Tues 4/9 + MAP Brewing-
Here’s an opportunity for community service AND Rotary socializing. We will fill KidsPacks starting at 4:00 pm on Tuesday, April 9 at HRDC (206 E Griffin Bozeman, MT 59715). Kidspacks are bags of nutritious food that go to students who may be experiencing food insecurity over the weekends. HRDC delivers them every Friday to schools throughout Madison, Jefferson and Gallatin counties. When we’re done packing (around 6:00 pm), those of us so inclined will migrate to MAP Brewery for casual food and drinks, the cost of which is borne by each attendee.
Check out a KBZK feature that shows what this service event entails *HERE*. Katie Capp has done this many times, basically you walk in a line and toss stuff in a plastic bag and tie it at the end of the line and repeat until all food items are packed.
-Book Giveaway School Sign-Ups-
Thank you all that signed-up to help sticker books this Thursday 5/28 at 5:15PM at Yellowstone Bank (1960 N 19th Ave). Need to check your RSVP? *CLICK HERE*
Did you know for some students these are the first books that are their own? That is why it is so special to sticker each book so each child can have their name written in it, making it is truly theirs.
Interested in distributing books at the schools? Check out the calendar and sign-up *HERE*
