OREGON — The Oregon Rotary Club, with the assistance of Rotary District 6420, and the City of Oregon, utilized a District Grant to purchase a new commercial double-door freezer for the Lifeline Food Pantry & Self-Help Project. Rotary strongly supports improving health and alleviating poverty, both locally and globally. The new freezer will allow Lifeline to efficiently store more meat and healthy food for better distribution to the underprivileged individuals in the Oregon area.
Lifeline volunteers visited the Oregon Rotary Club on Wednesday, Sept. 6 to present on the important efforts that the all-volunteer organization assists the community with. The freezer was installed in the Lifeline storefront at the Conover Square mall. Over 1,500 individuals annually benefit from the Lifeline Food Service program. The freezer was paid for through a grant from the Rotary District 6420 “Create Hope” grant, along with local Rotary club funds and further financial assistance from the City of Oregon.
Rotary continually supports food banks through service, donations and financial support. For more information on the Oregon Rotary Club please find us on Facebook or contact us using the following email address: oregonrotary@gmail.com.
