An Update from Kids Lunch Club
Oct 10, 2023 12:00 PM
DRC Sponsor: Jim Morrow Shanna Putnam-Dibble will be sharing updated news from Kids Lunch Club, an organization with which Decorah Rotary has closely aligned itself over the past year. Throughout the school year students have access to lunch at school but during summer break, many kids and families struggle with food insecurity. Kids Lunch Club serves lunches (and often breakfast too) to ensure children and youth in our community have nutritious meal opportunities throughout the summer. Kids Lunch Club expanded this past summer by not only offering meals but also partnering with local organizations throughout the summer to support family engagement through literacy activities and "pop-up" family events. Kids Lunch Club seeks partnerships with community members and organizations for single volunteer shifts, preparing and/or distributing lunches, joining the steering committee, signing up for a long term commitment, and/or making financial contributions. Shanna is the Elementary Learner Advocate for the Decorah Community School District, the Kids Lunch Club Coordinator, and teaches classes across Iowa for teachers, childcare providers and parents. She is active in the community, serving as the President of the FEC (Family, Educator, and Community Organization), a member of the Decorah Public Library Board of Trustees and the Freeport Park Committee, and volunteers with many local organizations. She lives in Decorah with her husband Andrew and their two children. --- **Please complete your meal sign-up prior to the meeting, preferably not later than close of business Monday.
