We encourage volunteers to bring donations with them when they volunteer or to donate to our virtual food drive by following this link: http://www.harvesters.org/PlanAFundraiserEvery $1 donated to Harvesters helps provide 2 meals.  In February, we are encouraging volunteers to bring no sugar or low-sugar healthy snacks, such as trail mix, fruit cups, and granola bars.
Please let me know if you would like to help and we can coordinate carpooling.  We will have a sign up sheet at future Rotary meetings. You must RSPV for this event.
