Since 2022, the Ann Arbor Rotary Clubs (Ann Arbor North, Ann Arbor West, and Rotary Club of Ann Arbor), along with Interact Clubs and caring volunteers from our community, have partnered with Kids Coalition Against Hunger (KCAH)to host annual meal-packing events at Pioneer High School.

Together, we’ve packed over 115,000 meals—meals that have fed families right here in our community and reached people worldwide in times of crisis and disaster.

This year, we’re aiming higher: 50,000 meals in one day! To achieve this, we need to raise $17,500 and gather dozens of volunteers ready to roll up their sleeves and make an impact.

👉 Here’s how you can help:

  • Donate – Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to feeding another family.

  • Volunteer – Be part of the team that makes it all happen!
