The Rotary Club of Milwaukie, Oregon was pleased to present Rowe Middle School a check for $2,000 to support their "Food For Success" program. "Food For Success" provides all students nutrient-rich snacks throughout the day to help foster better focus & learning, that may otherwise be inhibited by a lack of food; a problem faced by a great number of students who live with food-insecurity everyday. The Rotary Club of Milwaukie's Local Community Service Committee provided $1,000; combined with a matching Rotary District 5100 Grant of $1,000.
If you'd like to learn more about how you or your organization can help support this program, please contact Rowe's Social Worker, Harry Applebaum at apelbaumh@nclack.k12.or.us
