Food Insecurity

Despite the many farmer’s markets, supermarkets, food programs, and perceptions people may hold of a particular zip code or neighborhood, there is too much food insecurity in the area we serve. Whether it’s due to temporary circumstances or long-term concerns, there are families who have difficulty putting food on the table every day. AW Rotary has several ongoing programs that address hunger and food insecurity in our communities. Volunteers are dedicated to these programs; stocking shelves in Kingdom Life food pantry, handing out produce at Lowhill Food Pantry, creating snack packs for students in the Parkland and Northwestern school districts. We also provide both funds and volunteers for the Meals on Wheels program.

Having Fun and Making Friends

Let’s not forget one of the best parts of Allentown West Rotary – the people! We get together to socialize, as friends, whether we are fundraising, helping others, or just having fun. Some meetings are “dining out” evenings where we get together as friends, or picnics on a beautiful summer afternoon. We believe our club is the fun club, and we hope you’ll want to get to know us and see for yourself!
