The Rotary Club of South Austin and Rotary Club of Austin Southwest rolled up their sleeves for an incredible day of service by sponsoring a Rise Against Hunger emergency food packaging event in partnership with Oak Hill United Methodist Church.
In just two hours, volunteers packed an amazing 10,000 meals that will help fight hunger and support families in need around the world. 🌎Our club had 8 volunteers: Patty & Jim Hoyt, Lisa & Kory Killough, Mickie Powers & Mini Kestner, and Jenny & Jeff Turney.Thanks to all for preparing 10,000 meals!
When Rotarians and community partners come together, we truly show what Service Above Self looks like in action.
