Rotary First Harvest : Help Clubs

What Rotary Clubs Can Do To Help Feed the Hungry
We are a District Project of Rotary District 5030 and this page is intended for clubs in that District. If you are a member of a club in another district within Washington state and are interested in helping us (our food reaches nearly all of the 300+ food banks in our state), please send an email to David Bobanick. If you are a member of a club outside of Washington, email David to receive information on how you can start a First Harvest in your area.

Be actively involved with RFH:

Have an active RFH Board Representative who attends the quarterly meetings. Click here for a list of current board members.
Encourage your Rep to make regular announcements updating the club on RFH activities.
Support the Fall Harvest Fund Drive (our annual appeal for individual donations).
Schedule an RFH speaker to give a program at your club.
Schedule an RFH work party as a club activity. Click here for pictures and stories of recent donations and work parties.

Two ways that clubs can support RFH financially:

Use RFH Speakers’ Gift cards.
Make a club gift as part of your Community Service activities. (There are many ways to raise funds for RFH - from our very own “Fasting for First Harvest” program to standard fundraising options such as auctions or Happy Bucks. We would be glad to help you come up with ideas.)
