LIMA, OH (WLIO) - It looked like a well-oiled machine today as the Lima Rotary Club lent a helping hand to the West Ohio Food Bank. Rotarians teamed up with twenty members of Bath High School's Interact Club to pack food boxes for the food bank. The food boxes were earmarked for the Senior and Green RX box programs. As part of the food bank's “Travelling Service Project", local groups and volunteers, young and old alike, help take a dent out of the hours of labor needed to help the hungry in our area.
“We have a small staff and we are trying to get these boxes packed for all 11 counties that we serve,” says Tommie Horner, CEO of the West Ohio Food Bank. “So, this is so helpful for us.”
“Philanthropy, my grandma that is a big part of her philosophy, it like passed down through and like helping others, especially volunteer work. You just know you are doing something good for someone else and you are not getting anything in return except that good feeling,” adds Andrew Sheidler, President of Bath’s Interact Club.
The food boxes will be stored at the West Ohio Food Bank and then distributed over the next couple weeks to the clients in the Senior and Green RX programs.
