Rotary Club of Forked River makes donation to the Lacey Food Bank

For families who rely on the Lacey Food Bank to get them through the last days of the month, summer can be a time of uncertainty about where and when they’ll have access to healthy food. Traditionally, the Food Bank sees a sharp drop off in donations as the schools recess for the summer. So it's this time of the year that they depend more and more on business and community members to help stockthe shelves. Pictured is Diamond Frandsen, the 2015/16 President of the Forked River Rotary Club presenting to LFBKids Chair, Laura Caroccia (and fellow Rotarian) a generous $500.00 donation to help them fill their shelves with some of the staples they will need to get through the long days of summer. No stranger to community involvement , the Forked River Rotary Club partners with the Lacey Food Bank at Thanksgiving to provide a full harvest feast for all the families on the food bank client list. And in 2015 the Forked River Rotary celebrated a Day of Giving by sponsoring one of the biggest food drives in recent years - presenting the Lacey Food Bank with more than 2500 lbs of shelf stable non-perishable groceries! Thank You President Frandsen and the Rotary Club of Forked River for your support and efforts to help those in our community who need it the most!
