December 1-12, 2025 for Food Bank of Nevada County
We are gearing up for the Area 4 "Inaugural Nevada County Rotary Food Drive." 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 starting bringing food boxes to Club meetings. Thursday we filled our first with food and money! 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.
