The Rotary Club of Federal Way has donated $7,000 in emergency funding to alleviate the stress to local organizations that are providing food and groceries in Federal Way.

The club donated $3,500 to Communities In Schools to help feed more students and help facilitate the BAG Program in Federal Way schools.

Also, in coordination with Federal Way Public Schools and faith-based leaders in the Federal Way area, Rotary has donated $3,500 to support meal and/or groceries to apartment communities that cannot be reached with current distribution efforts. The churches that have received support with this funding to help distribute food/groceries are: One Hope Four Square, Family Life Community Church, Journey Church, Grace Church, Brooklake Church, Tentative Christ’s Church, and Soma Church.
