Teen Kitchen Needs Delivery Angels!
Join fellow Rotarians Jon Winston, Roger and Kari Swenson, Tom and Becky Hart, and Romney and Priscilla Dunbar deliver healthy meals lovingly prepared by area teens to county residents experiencing life-threatening medical crises. All it takes is an hour or two each week and the desire to have a huge impact in a neighbor’s life. Last year we delivered more than 80,000 meals to over 600 households. TKP, the main beneficiary of our 2021 Bike Ride, has 2 new refrigerated trucks thanks to our club’s support. Join us and I promise your personal support and experience will become one of the best parts of your week. Visit www.TeenKitchenProject.org to sign up!
