Rice bagging project

Aloha Fellow Rotarians,

Back by popular demand, the rice project continues... 

As most of you may know, we have been assisting the Food Basket with a rice project where we have been breaking down large rice bag quantities into smaller 5lb sizes.  The needs of the Food Basket during the COVID-19 lockdown are in great demand and they have reached out to us and asked for help.

The Food Basket delivered 3 pallets of rice yesterday to Hilo Daijingu for repackaging.

We are looking at a work day tomorrow, 05/20,  with two work shifts available at 2-4pm and 4-6pm. We are planning 2 hrs shifts instead of three because there is less rice to process this time around.   

If you are interested in volunteering for this project, please email me so that I can schedule you in, as we need to limit the work crews to about 6-7 people. 

We will be at the certified kitchen Hilo Daijingu located at 10 Anela St. in Hilo. 

We will have all necessary supplies including  there except for that you need to bring your own face mask, something to drink and snack on.  Again, because we will be on our feet for a majority of the 3 hours, please bring comfortable shoes. 

Thank you,

James Tyrin
