This is a FUNdraising event to support our Rotary Club's literacy and hunger relief initiatives. The club's 3-year food security initiative is increasing access to food to everyone in our region. The club has partnered with the Intervale Center, Hunger Free VT, and Feeding Chittenden to provide volunteer hands, create translated food access videos, and advance the gleaning and food access program distribution at the Intervale. Sound nourishment is the foundation for a healthy body that can concentrate and learn. Literacy is the foundation of knowledge and success: Being literate enables one to follow their educational dreams and studies show that access to books during early childhood is a strong indicator of success later in life. The club is a proud partner with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to provide monthly FREE books to kids in Burlington; we've provided nearly 40,000 free books to date!
