The Rotary Club of Tahoe-Incline collected non-perishables for the Sparks-Reno Gospel Mission in Reno. The people in the picture are Robert Esser, Tiffany Clemente, Pam Sheldon and Christina Fahad.
The Rotary collected food for two months, August and September and took it down to their Warehouse. Rotary collected the food and shelved the food among other food that was already there. They put out a barrel at the Incline Rec Center to collect the food from the community. The food is used to feed the Homeless Shelter of about 40-50 men, about 20 women.
They also prepare meals everyday for the homeless men and women who come everyday for a hot meal on Record street. On Tuesdays and Thursdays they give out bags of food to the community in need. And one Sunday a month at Journey Church they give out food and we help people in need.
These are the lowest supplies I have seen of the shelves at the Mission. We need to collect more food. Three men from the Homeless shelter also helped us with the bagging and sorting of food. They were very kind and grateful. Overall it is a gracious time and of human satisfaction to do this. Thank you to all who participated.
