Rotary District 6040 is excited to launch Operation Full Plate: United to Fight Hunger — a friendly competition between Zones 30 & 31 to make a measurable impact on food insecurity while creating opportunities for engagement and membership growth. The contest is running NOW through Jan. 10, 2026. We know all of our clubs work hard on this area of focus - food insecurity. So, let's see how our District can unite to serve others!
How it works:
Clubs choose any hunger-focused service project(s): food drives, fundraising, volunteering at pantries, meal packing, etc., then report their impact to their Districts. Your lead contact for Operation Full Plate to collect this info is Kandi Kos (that's me!). Please use this spreadsheet to track your members' progress. You do not need to calculate your club's points - the Zone leaders will handle that. At the conclusion of the campaign, I will report D6040's totals.
