How Rotary 4 Foodbanks helps

ROTARY4FOODBANKS IS a Rotary response to the growing demands on foodbanks in the UK. Initially operating in the East Midlands and South Yorkshire, it is attracting interest from Rotary across the UK. Whilst it was launched in response to the Covid crisis, it is a long- term initiative to deliver a sustainable, cost- effective food sourcing programme for foodbanks.

The scheme is run entirely by unpaid volunteers from Rotary Clubs. The Rotary Foundation, and individual Rotary clubs are providing an initial £ 100,000 to get the scheme underway.

More corporate and individual sponsors are required. The team is preparing a crowdfunding initiative and actively seeking national and local government funding support.
