This past week fellow Rotarians Anika Rychner and Scott Wopata spoke to our club about Northfield's Community Action Center. The Community Action Center is a non-profit looking to take local challenges and create local solutions for them. The CAC has many different programs they operate. From food access, transportation, and housing support, to youth services. Recently, with over 20 various local partners, the CAC has created a mobile food unit in Faribault. Since April has delivered over 9,000 boxes of food to homes in 9 neighborhoods, feeding 1,500 people.
The Faribault Rotary Club has signed up to provide monthly volunteer service for the mobile food shelf. If you would like to stay up to date on the project, check out their new Facebook page @Faribault Food Access or at https://communityactioncenter.org/
| At the Community Action Center (CAC) of Northfield, we are “neighbors helping neighbors.” Our programs – from Creating Homes to Feeding the Hungry – meet the most basic needs of individuals and families who are seeking help. communityactioncenter.org |
