4 Fill a Bag Feed A Child We are still accepting donations! THE PROBLEM: Each Thanksgiving and Christmas vacation hundreds of children at La Mesa Schools face the harsh reality that for reasons beyond their control, there may not be food in their household to replace the free and reduced breakfast and lunch they get at school. THE PROJECT: FILL A BAG, FEED A CHILD exists to allow individuals and organizations in the community an easy opportunity to partner together to ensure these children have breakfast and lunch during these two breaks from school. Each week President Mark will let us know what we can bring to help out. This week he is asking that you bring any of the following to help out this great program: Peanut Butter, Mac & Cheese, Canned Soups, & Granola Bars ROTARY AT A GLANCE: ROTARY 1,224,261 Clubs: 35,187 ROTARACT 194,028 Clubs: 8,436 INTERACT 429,203 Clubs: 18,661 RCCS 197,869 Corps: 8,603
