Operation Full Plate: United to Fight Hunger
 
Rotary District 6040 is excited to launch Operation Full Plate: United to Fight Hunger — a friendly competition between Zones 30 & 31 to make a measurable impact on food insecurity while creating opportunities for engagement and membership growth.  The contest is running NOW through Jan. 10, 2026. We know all of our clubs work hard on this area of focus - food insecurity.  So, let's see how our District can unite to serve others!
 
How it works:
Clubs choose any hunger-focused service project(s): food drives, fundraising, volunteering at pantries, meal packing, etc., then report their impact to their Districts. Your lead contact for Operation Full Plate to collect this info is Kandi Kos (that's me!). Please use the attached spreadsheet to track your members' progress. You do not need to calculate your club's points - the Zone leaders will handle that. At the conclusion of the campaign, I will report D6040's totals.
Points Earned
  • 1 point per food item donated
  • 1 point per dollar contributed
  • 1 point per public image activity
  • 3 points per Rotarian volunteer hour
  • 5 points per non-Rotarian volunteer engaged
Parkville Rotary Club is currently at 40 points currently if the club reports points as WSKF Architects, Dalyn's company, had eight employees pack bags for Feed Northland Kids last Friday.
 
Incentives
  • Winning Zone: Virtual Happy Hour with Director Brian Hall
  • Top District: Membership Grant-$500
  • Losing Zone Coordinator Team: Volunteers an extra 10 hours fighting hunger
     
What We Need From You
  1. Promote the campaign to your clubs.
  2. Use and share the tools in and attached to this email.
     
We have lots of tools and resources to help make Operation Full Plate a smashing success. Click HERE to Access Your Starter Toolkit which includes communication templates, promotional resources, project ideas, and more.
 
Let’s turn fellowship into full plates — one meal, one act of service, one new connection at a time.
 
In the Spirit of Rotary,
