Food Packing to Fight Food Insecurity

The Rotary Club of Lake Buena Vista fights food insecurity by volunteering at local food banks

Food insecurity remains a serious and urgent need in Central Florida, affecting families, children, seniors, and individuals across the region. Many neighbors face difficult choices when trying to cover basic household expenses while still having enough food on the table. The Rotary Club of Lake Buena Vista actively volunteers at the Second Harvest Food Bank to help combat food insecurity.

Across Second Harvest Food Bank’s seven-county Central Florida service area, nearly 600,000 people are believed to be experiencing food insecurity, including more than 150,000 children. That means that roughly one in 7 residents and one in 6 children experience uncertainty about consistent access to food.

Volunteering with our Rotary Club is one of the most direct ways the community can help fight food insecurity. By sorting food, packing meals, supporting food distributions, or helping local nonprofit partners, Rotarians turn concern into action and help ensure more Central Florida families receive the food and dignity they deserve.
