The University Sunrise Rotary club food drive at the QFC in the University Village was a huge success last Saturday, October 30th.
We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day without a cloud in the sky, shining on our seventeen volunteers, fourteen of whom are current Rotary members. Over a five-hour window, covering both entrances of the grocery store, we were able to raise 1,106 pounds of food and $661 in cash donations. Donations benefit the University District Food Bank, and they expressed much appreciation to our Rotary club.
Managers Matt and Jim of the QFC expressed gratitude for our service, as we have now run four food drives at their location over the course of the last 13 months. We hope to organize another event in early 2022.
