Rotary Club: College

Project Title: Feeding Fairbanks


Project Description

1. Describe the project. What was done, when and where did project activities take place?

We provided funding to support the Bone Builder program in which take-home sacks were filled with kid-friendly, nutritious snacks. We also provided funding to support the Stone Soup's sack lunch program for hungry children.

2. How many people benefited from this project? approximately 618 children

3. Who were the beneficiaries, how were they impacted by this project, and what humanitarian need was met?

This project was designed to support feeding the hungry children of Fairbanks whose situation became increasingly precarious and dire with schools closing due to the pandemic. We provided healthy food for hungry children.

4. How many Rotarians participated in the project? 4

5. What did they do? Please give at least two examples, not including financial support provided to the project.

Rotarians researched and identified a need in our community, talked to providers of snacks in schools and who ran the soup kitchen in town. We determined that there was a critical immediate need to provide food for hungry children, collected supporting data, and wrote a grant application.

6. If a cooperating organization was involved, what was its role?

Sack lunches were prepared and distributed by the Stone Soup Cafe. The Breadline prepared and distributed take home snack packs for hungry children.
