Two groups of Rotarians helped roll up their sleeves and prepare dinners for individuals attending The Cambridge Shelter Corporation (which operates The Bridges) in Galt.  The agency's mission is to provide safe shelter, and to offer programs and services in support of the hopes and needs of people dealing with life issues. 
 
Economic and Community Development is one of Rotary's seven areas of focus -- recognizing that around the globe, nearly 1.4 billion employed people live on less than $1.25 a day.  Reducing poverty and food insecurity is part of this goal. 
 
On January 24 and January 26 our teams helped prepare delicious meals with chef Andrew (a former chef from Langdon Hall -- the local Relais & Chateaux resort).
 
Some of the clients called to have us keep meals for them, as they rushed for dinner from their workplaces.  A few arrived just in time for a fresh hot dinner, salad, dessert, bread and a coffee/tea.
 
What a great feeling to give back to people who appreciated their meal and were thankful for our volunteer efforts.
