Our speaker this week will be Britt Udesen, Executive Director of City of Good. Founded in 2020 as schools and restaurants were closing, City of Good united local restaurants and growers to provide fresh, nutritious meals to food insecure children in the Boise School District, all while paying living wages to farmers and culinary workers. Taking what was learned in the crisis, City of Good expanded its focus to address changing community needs. To date, City of Good has distributed over 115,000 nutritious, restaurant-made meals to children, refugees, seniors, and others lacking access to the food they need. We’ve also distributed over 94,000 pounds of local produce and over $63,000 worth of culturally-appropriate shelf stable goods to school pantries and early learning centers for kids to take home. |
We will be volunteering for the Picnic in the Park: July 21st, 23rd, 24th and 25th. 
For the last 14 years volunteers have gathered on the parking lot of the Amity Methodist Church to build all the walls needed for a Habitat house - one one morning! More than two hundred volunteers, in teams of 6-8 people, will follow the instructions and hammer away! This year's event will be Saturday, June 7th. We'll be framing a 2 story house. This is a fun event. No experience necessary. Kids are welcome. Let me know if you'd like to be on the Boise Metro Rotary team. Hammering starts at 8:00AM and will be done by noon!
