We had a great turnout! We made sandwiches and prepared 50 full lunches for people in need via Connections for the Homeless.
Along with many Rotarians and other guests, we had a handful of GBN Spartan Service Club members help!
Our short service project began by preparing bagged meals for Connections for the Homeless and afterwards share a meal together.

We’re anticipating a huge influx of neighbors turning to our food pantries for their groceries because of the government shutdown and the loss of SNAP benefits starting November 1.
