On Tuesday June 12th from 5PM-7PM at the Warren Sharpe Center in Joliet, our club will sponsor a Mobile Food Pantry. The Mobile Food Pantry is a truck that delivers meat, produce and nonperishable food to our neighbors in need. In addition to purchasing the food for the truck, members of the Joliet Rotary Club will also work as volunteers to help distribute the food on the day of our event.
At our last event we distributed food to 141 families and 616 individuals.
