The winning club will receive a custom-engraved Rotary Food Drive Bell, which they can proudly keep until next year's challenge. Needless to say, our club immediately accepted the challenge. Cathy has been bringing food boxes to Club meetings and we know a number of you have made generous monetary donations through the QR Code. We enjoy the exhileration of seeing much-needed food collections come in to restock the depleted shelves at the Nevada County Food Bank. The challenge will be based on the weight of food collected.
