Below is a summary of the recent FORaMEAL packing event at St Leonard's College which was published in the school newsletter.
On Friday 7 November, while many of the Year 12s at St Leonard’s College students were sitting their exams, the Marjorie Menzies Hall was abuzz with the middle schoolers and Rotarians working together to put together FORaMEAL packs. Rotarians (members from Brighton, Canterbury and Melbourne Passport Club) and St Leonard’s College Interact Club members together transformed 475kg rice, 475kg lentils and 250kg of oats into 15,690 nutritional FORaMEAL packs destined for disaster relief area overseas.
This Rotary Club of Canterbury initiative provides a displaced family with a nutritious meal for six people. Together we’ve been proudly involved for the last three years and helping feed 46,010 people in impacted areas from the Ukraine to Somaliland:
2023 – 15,000
2024 – 15,050
2025 – 15,960
Thanks to the Interact Club members, students and staff at St Leonard’s College, volunteers from the Rotary Club of Brighton, Passport Club of Melbourne, and the founders of this fabulous project initiative Rotary Club of Canterbury.
