This year we took attendees on a culinary journey around the world as we paid tribute to local volunteers who make a difference every day on our local community. We gathered waterside on a beautiful Spring evening Wednesday, May 10th at the beautiful Wilmette Harbor Club for a lively event featuring a global menu and an inspirational program and presentation. Many thanks to our local restaurant sponsors who generously donated a delicious buffet — and our lead event sponsor Warner Institute.
Many thanks to the over 400 volunteers who came to the Winnetka Community House on March 22nd to pack nutritious meals for hungry children in Nicaragua. We packed 110,000 meals in one great day — and packed the 2 millionth meal for the Northern Illinois Region of Kids Against Hunger! “Learn More” to see a video of the event.
18 nonprofits gratefully accepted thousands of generous donations at Make A Difference Day on October 26th. Thanks to everyone who made this year such a success!

Due to the public health threat of the coronavirus, the Kids Against Hunger food packing event scheduled for Saturday March 14 at the Community House is postponed to a future date to be determined. We will not be packing food this Saturday.
Public health officials are encouraging citizens, particularly those 60 years and older, to avoid public gatherings. We want to be a part of the efforts to reduce the spread of the coronavirus, so postponing Saturday’s event is the right thing to do.
We hope to reschedule the event to a date after the coronavirus threat is gone. Watch this website for updates.
As we have already funded the bulk food and packing materials for this event, if you have already signed up, we hope you can wait until we identify a new date before requesting a refund of your participation fees. Of course, if you do request a refund now, we will honor it as soon as we can. Refund requests and other questions should be directed to info@wnrotary.org.
Thank you for your support of this project and for partnering with the Volunteer Center to feed starving children.
