The Illinois Quad Cities organized a food drive in support of PDG Dave Emerick’s goal of 20 pounds of food per Rotarian. On June 8, 2024 members took shifts at the Rock Island HyVee entrance to take collections for the St. John’s Food Pantry in East Moline.
A list was provided to customers upon entry with the pantry top, most needed, choices. After a full day, they received 2,050 pounds of food. This will provide support for 150 families in our community. We are humbled by the support of Hy-Vee and the residents who helped us to surpass our goal.
