When a tractor-trailer backs up to the Middlesex Community College loading dock late this week, it will mark the real beginning of Bedford Rotary’s Hope for the Hungry 2025. Little more than a day later, the truckload it carries from Meals of Hope will be the centerpiece of meal assembly by dozens of volunteer meal-packers.
Dear Readers,
The Rotary Club of Bedford asks you to donate personal care items to be dropped off at its Hope for the Hungry meal-packing event on Saturday, April 26 at Middlesex Community College.
Collecting personal care items is as much a part of the fight against food insecurity as meal-packing. Many personal care items (see list below) are as much a necessity of everyday living as food, but much more expensive. Those who struggle with food insecurity also struggle financially, making it difficult to decide which to do without. Donated personal care items help bring hope to the hungry who must make those decisions. No donation is too small.
As March comes to a close, the Rotary Club of Bedford proudly reflects on Rotary International’s Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Month with a momentous achievement. Our club, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Maseno, has successfully secured a Global Grant from The Rotary Foundation to bring sustainable water solutions and economic empowerment to the Kambiri Community Development Group in Kenya.



How?
Sign Up to volunteer at Hope for the Hungry 2025, the Rotary Club of Bedford’s annual meal-packaging event to fight food insecurity on Saturday, April 26, 2025, 9:15 am – 12:00 pm, with Meals of Hope and co-hosted by the Rotary Clubs of Chelmsford and Merrimack Valley
