On November 2nd 2023, our guest speaker, Taylor Rotsted, presented a program on her nonprofit organization”Rise Against Hunger.” Established in 1998, the organization has established a presence in multiple states, as well as over 30 countries. Providing a variety of “hands on” services, in addition to hunger relief, is assistance in areas — such as education and healthcare.

Taylor described that her program has worked in concert with a number of rotary clubs, and meshes well with the long standing Areas of Focus that has been established by Rotary International.
