The Rotary Cares program of the Rotary Club of Overland Park responded to a critical need of the troops and their families stationed at Ft. Leavenworth with a delivery of food and personal hygiene supplies on Friday, November 14. OP Rotarian Mike Meyer had received a call for assistance from his contacts at Ft. Leavenworth since the food pantry supporting the Fort was critically low on inventory at a time when the troops had not been paid for over a month during the government shutdown. Mike worked with the Feed the Children organization to secure a truckload of donated food and supplies to be delivered to a Leavenworth warehouse. The OP Rotary Foundation provided a grant to pay the transportation expense. This delivery will serve about 900 families at Ft. Leavenworth.
