FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 12, Los Angeles CA - Rotary Club of Los Angeles Colombo Americano, based in Redondo Beach, is now serving free hot colombian meals to the community on Saturdays and will continue to distribute them to residents throughout the COVID-19 emergency until further notice. Public Relations Chair German Angel said "We believe in service to others, selfless service to humanity is one of the fundamental principles of the Rotary club.
This ambitious venture will reimburse local colombian restaurants up to $10 for lunch. The funds will mostly come from local donations. The program is designed to support our community, boost the local colombian restaurants and help generate local sales tax revenue at the same time. Rotary Club will determine which restaurants can participate in the program. Members of Rotary Club of Los Angeles Colombo Americano have also secured hundreds of masks and gloves and installed hygiene stations to keep food operations running smoothly.
The meals are served via pickup or drive-thru this Saturday September 12, 2020 from 11 p.m. to 1 p.m. at the Home Depot 1750 E Edinger Ave Santa Ana, CA 92801. No sign-up is required. They begin the food preparation following nutritional guidelines at 7 a.m. so that we can practice the need for social distancing. The goal is to deliver hot meals to various locations where there is need.
It’s our duty to provide without expecting anything in return.

Dear Rotary Club of Los Angeles Colombo Americano members and our guests to our website:
Some people join Rotary to give back to the community, some to make new friends, some to connect with local leaders & business owners, and some to change the world. Whatever the reason to join, it all comes down to Service Above Self in our club, and all of the above ends up happening!
We are a very exciting, dynamic and fun club of about 18 members and we are proud to participate in several wonderful projects for our local community, as well as international projects in Colombia and other Latin-American countries.
Our LA Colombo Americano Club is very proud of all our projects, especially our flagship Wheelchairs project in Colombia which in the last year delivered about 300 wheelchairs to disadvantaged and handicapped people in Colombia at a cost of abut $32,000. Other projects include Vision to Learn, annual Youth Leadership Grants (RYLA) to local high school seniors, our support for Interact Clubs in our local Leuzinger High School, our Hope Food Baskets and our support for other local projects such as Rise Against Hunger and other Humanitarian projects in Latin-America, just to name a few programs.
If you’re wondering what Rotary is... it’s simply a group of like-minded friends and business associates who want to make the world a better place. We do what we can to give back to our community and in the process have some fun!
Social fun is also part of our club with our twice a year fund raising parties, our social dinner gatherings, plus district-wide Rotary events that include a giant family picnic with a cardboard boat race!
If you’re someone who wants to give back and have fun doing it, I encourage you to come visit and learn for yourself. Stop by one of our Tuesday evening meetings… we HAVE FUN and GET IT DONE!

President, Rotary Club of LA Colombo Americano
