An update from our Evening Club, which our Exchange Student participated in.
Tuesday, August 20, 2024, the Rotary Club of Ankeny Evening participated in a community service project at Meals from the Heartland in West Des Moines. Twelve Rotarians and six guests volunteered from 6-8 p.m., packaging 194 boxes, which equates to 41,904 meals—enough to feed 161 children for an entire year. This is an annual project that our Rotary Club looks forward to. Additionally, we donated $500 to support Meals from the Heartland's mission to fight child hunger by empowering people to feed starving children.
