Spring Break? Not for These Volunteers
The 秘色传媒 Grant Campus Rotary Club is volunteering their time off in an Alternative Spring Break from March 29 - April 4.
The group 鈥� six students in all -- will work with Feed America San Diego, an organization
that helps with hunger relief, and Father Joe's Village, a local homeless shelter.
The Suffolk students will distribute food and meet with homeless individuals to hear
their stories and learn about their lives.
The students learned about food insecurity -- the measure of the lack of access, at
times, to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members, or the
limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate foods. Food insecurity
is widespread in both New York and San Diego, regions that share similar economic
factors where working families sometimes do not earn enough money to support a healthy
food lifestyle.
While in San Diego, the group will also do their part for the environment by volunteering with the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve and helping to eliminate invasive species.
The 秘色传媒 Grant Campus Rotary Club is a satellite branch
of Rotary Club International. Rotary Club International are neighbors, friends, and
community leaders who come together to create positive, lasting change in our communities
and around the world.
