Supporting SBCO Annual Food Drive
Saddlebrooke Community Outreach Food Drive 2024
 
Saddlebrooke Rotarians turned out in large numbers on Saturday, March 16th to sort, pack, and load tons of donated food from the Saddlebrooke Communities.
 
 
Our Club joined together with Saddlebrooke Sunrise Rotary Club and many other volunteers to make quick work of the job.
 
The 26th annual SaddleBrooke Community Outreach (SBCO) Food Drive gathered donations of food and money to support the Tri-Community Food Bank (TCFB) based in Mammoth. TCFB serves needy families living in Mammoth, San Manuel, Oracle and the Dudleyville/Aravaipa area. Donations from SaddleBrooke and SaddleBrooke Ranch helped to provide bi-monthly Our donations will help to provide bi-monthly emergency food boxes to an unduplicated count of 530 households (1,565 people) for the past calendar year. TCFB meets a real need in the Tri-Community area, where 20 percent of households live below the poverty level and 10 percent are below 50 percent of the poverty level. Recent increases in the cost of gasoline, food and utilities have a significant impact on families already struggling to make ends meet.  (furnished by SBCO)

Meeting Recaps

As we step into a new Rotary year, we continue to follow through and grow on the successful plans and programs of the past while expanding into new horizons. This means that, on top of our regular programs, such as scholarships, working with other local organizations on health and welfare programs, expanding our support of schools and educational facilities, and participating in international projects like clean water, child and maternal health, and education, we will be focusing as well on a couple of new areas. Rotary International has two major priorities this year, Environmental Awareness and Peace and Conflict Resolution.
 
As a result, we're moving towards our clubs' activities and events to be zero waste producing and helping our community with other green programs such as composting, using fewer disposables, and community education on reduce, reuse, recycle methods.
 
Our Peace and Conflict Resolution programs will take us into substance abuse awareness and prevention, mental health programs to support the homeless, and working side-by-side with organizations to educate the community and our membership on the tragedy of human trafficking, its consequences, and how everyone can be part of the solution.
 
Of course, we continue to support Rotary International's flagship program "End Polio Now" by raising money for vaccinations and education in countries that are still fighting this horrible, crippling disease.
 
Also, needless to say, we continue to seek out new, enthusiastic members that would love to share in our successes and dreams. Our club has grown significantly in the past few years and we plan to continue to attract quality members. Help us share the dream and "Create Hope in The World".
 
Yours in Rotary
