November is national adoption month, and this year FUNDtheNATIONS (ftn) is helping another family bring their adoptive child home! You would be amazed what happens when you combine T-shirts, social media and the power of someone’s story.

Bag Decorating for Kids Food Basket

Rockford, MI, October 13, 2024: Most high school students look forward to their half-
days of school to just hang out with the friends and relaxing. For the Rockford High
School Rotary Interact Club, these days are spent living the Rotary motto “Service
About Self” as they work together to bring joy to local children. Interact Club members
have been volunteering at Kids Food Basket (KFB), a local non-profit, that provides
sack dinners to food insecure children in the 61 schools in Kent, Ottawa, Allegan and
Muskegon Counties. The RHS Interact students have prepared and packed lunches for
distribution on their afternoons off from school.
In addition, Rockford club members also joined with other Interact Clubs within Rotary
District 6290 at their annual district conference to decorate lunch bags to pack the
meals in. At their last volunteer session, Club members delivered 500 decorated bags
for the program. During the month of October, KFB hopes to collect 100,000 decorated
bags.
To continue to help KFB with this goal, the RHS Rotary Interact Club and Krause
Memorial Library staff are offering our community the opportunity to help decorate bags.
Beginning October 21, plain bags will be available for members to pick up from the
library. Bags can be decorated with crayons or markers and it is requested that no
religious statements be on the bag. Decorated bags should be returned to the library by
by October 26. In addition, on Thursday, October 24, RHS Interact Club members will
be on site helping kids with bag decorating from 4-6:30 pm prior to the library’s Not-So-
Scary-Story-Time for families and kids of all ages.

“Having the RHS Interact students at our facility has been a joy – they bring a lot of
enthusiasm and make the work fun,” according to Michelle Plumstead, Volunteer
Experience Coordinator at the Kent County location. “We serve an average of 10,000
kids daily. About 7,000 of those meals go to kids in Kent County, 1,500 go to kids in
Muskegon County and 1,500 go to students in Allegan and Ottawa Counties.” Since
July 1, 2024, it is estimated KFB has served over 67,780 nutritional meals to students.
