Jeff Morse:
WE DO MORE THAN THE NOONTIME CLUB!
Groundworks Collaborative feeds 7000 individuals each year, huge considering the size of the area.
53% of school age kids get free or reduced meals at school.
Originally the majority got donated by CNS wholesale.
WTSA does the marketing muscle. Schools spread worth of mouth too. Local businesses providing help abounding. They can buy food at 15 cents on the dollar. Groundworks collaborative get the most of it. Kevin has been a steadfast and energetic driving force on the volunteering despite being from a different station… Impressive.
Majority of donations are under $50. But they also want volunteers to come help.
Kevin presented them with a check for $1000 on Behalf of Groundworks Sunrise Rotary. Woo Hoo!
