Rotary Projects around the Globe

扶輪計畫遍佈全球

United States

To help people affected by the financial crisis of
2008, the Rotary Club of Summit County (Frisco) began
serving a weekly dinner free of charge in the Colorado ski
town. Sixteen years later, they haven't stopped. In January,
the club and its partners served their 200,000th meal.
"The housing and mortgage crisis deeply affected people in Summit County, so in November
2008 I went to a nonprofit in the county and asked the director what was needed to help people
through it," says club member Deborah Hage. ¨For people displaced, living in their cars, or sofa
surfing, there was no way for them to prepare meals with the food being distributed by the food
banks and pantries." On a typical Tuesday night, 100 to 500 people{children, families, retirees,
and even donors who simply enjoy the camaraderie{come together to share restaurant-quality
dinners and good company.
