R.O.C.K. is a local organization that stands for Reaching Our Community's Kids. This organization packs food for elementary students, who are food insecure, to take home over weekends. To be food insecure means to not know when or where the next meal will be. According to R.O.C.K.'s website, there are currently over 500 elementary students in the Prior Lake-Savage school district who are food insecure.
After school on Thursday, November 9th, Interact members gathered at the Holy Trinity Church in Prior Lake to help pack food. With the help of 11 members, advisor Mrs. Aikey, and Rotary mentor Susan Perez, we were able to pack enough food for the students of the elementary schools within 30 minutes!
This experience brought awareness to the notion of food insecurity within our community. We are very thankful for the opportunity to help students in need and we are happy to help our community in as many ways as possible.
