Rotary District 7980 successfully applied to The Rotary Foundation for a $25,000 Disaster Relief Grant for Food Insecurity. Through the efforts of District Rotary Foundation Chair Ron Webb, the district identified the expertise of TEAM, Inc. to be the recipient of the grant. John Monteleone, PE of the Tribury Club, worked with Ron Webb and David Morgan (TEAM) to coordinate the Outreach Program Meals delivery to the Seymour-Oxford and Southbury Food Banks. Bagged meals (oatmeal, pasta, rice, etc.) have already been delivered to the Seymour-Oxford Food Bank, and on November 18th, Southbury will be receiving their delivery. Many thanks to the Rotary members who volunteered to help unload the deliveries, and many thanks to David Morgan and TEAM for responding to the extreme needs resulting from the recent flood disaster.
