The Rotary Club of Springdale distributes groceries to families of students at Jones Elementary School in Springdale to help combat food insecurity over the Christmas holiday school break. The Club orders the groceries weeks in advance, selecting items to be both nutritious and kid-friendly. Members meet the week before school dismisses for the holidays to sort and sack groceries and deliver them to the school. School counselors then distribute the bags to students' families. Since beginning in December 2018, this project has expanded to deliver 900 bags of groceries to Springdale students and families.
