Food insecurity is real, local and on-going. Madison Rotary and the Interact Club of Madison High School support our local pantry, that is operated by the First Baptist Church of Madison, by collecting food donations every other Saturday. We have made over 100 gallons of fresh soup and donated it to JBWS and Homeless Solutions. And we grow fresh vegetables at the Madison Community garden and donate our harvest to the local pantry. We are always evaluating new service projects and grant requests to help address this on-going need.
Doug Willis from Madison Rotary, and Rebecca Elsner, the president of the Interact Club at Madison High School joined Jim Monaghan to talk about the ongoing effort to assist those in the Madison community who deal with food insecurity.
