Bellevue Rotary contributed $15,000 to Backpack Meals for Kids to provide food for families.
We are grateful that we live in a community that is ready to help. Our mission could not be fulfilled without the commitment of the wonderful people of Bellevue.
Instead of needing meals on the weekend, many families in Bellevue need food every day. Backpack Meals has stepped up to the challenge. In addition to pre-packed food, we provide fresh produce like eggs cheese, and milk, as well as nonperishable foods and grocery cards. Our volunteers have been working every day to support the need and deliver food. We are grateful to them.
