Join Us at The Next RFH Work

Our Sammamish Rotary Club Chairperson for Rotary First Harvest(RFH) is Rebecca Jay, who helps organizes giving campaigns and monthly volunteer activities with this project. RFH provides 30 pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables for each $1. contributed. President Lisa Kennedy accepts an award from Rotary First Harvest Development Director Jacki Lorenz recognizing the Sammamish Rotary for being in the top 5 clubs in District 5030 for contributions to Rotary First Harvest.

Join Us at The Next RFH Work Party!

  "This is what Rotary is all about."

Imagine entering a room full of bins of apples, pears, corn, carrots, onions, potatoes or green beans and knowing that in a few hours, you and your friends will have repacked thousands of pounds into cases for delivery to local food banks. What a sense of accomplishment for a Saturday morning!

Every month, hundreds of Rotarians from across District 5030 gather at one of our two partner programs' warehouses to help sort and repack produce that RFH has gathered. RFH work parties are one of our District's most enduring and enjoyable service activities. Over the past few years, work party groups have increased in size, leading to a spirited competition among clubs to see who can have the highest attendance.

Join us! Get directly involved with the fight against hunger, socialize with Rotarians from other clubs, have a great time and get a free doughnut as your reward!

Who Can Attend?

Rotarians, guests, potential new members, and family members - everyone is invited to join a work party. It is a terrific activity for kids (4th grade and older, please), who always seem to outwork every adult in the vicinity. It's also a great way to show people how Rotary is making our community better.
