Gleaners Food Bank

On Saturday, May 3, Rotarians Carmody, Gandelot, Rentenbach, Ollison, and Mozena, and prospective Rotarians Chris Laenen and Hari Rao, joined forces with 8 Interact club members and their faculty advisor Kevin Cox, and packaged 450 pounds of healthy snack bags and 400 pounds of dinner bags for distribution to school children throughout Detroit.  Their work took about 2 hours and was done at the Gleaners Food Bank facility on Beaufait Street, just off of Kercheval.  Gleaners relies on volunteers for assembly of pallets of food for distribution to over 400 agencies in metro Detroit, and Grosse Pointe Rotary will be continuing this hands on event in the coming years as well.
