    Though the media tends to focuson underdeveloped countrieswhen the subject is hunger, foodscarcity is also a problem in theUnited States.

    Consider parts of Missouri, whereone of every six people goes hun-gry, according to the Food Bankfor Central & Northeast Missouri.

    Rotary member Steve Dullewanted to change that. For hisinduction as this year’s governorof District 6080, he eschewed atraditional installation featuringfine food and formal wear. In-stead, he asked members

    throughout the district to collectnon-perishable provisions and volunteer at local foodbanks and pantries on the day that he took office. Andhe launched a monthlong ―food fight‖ that pit clubs in thenorthern part of his district against those in the south tosee who could collect the most food.

    The north won —  as did the area’s hungry residents.Rotary members, Rotaractors, and their families andfriends collected more than 10,000 pounds of food andraised nearly $19,000 for Missouri’s food pantries. 

    ―I wanted to start off my year with an example of what it

    should primarily portray, namely a dedication to ser-vice,‖ says Dulle. ―This was the first time we did a ser-vice project for our district — it united us.‖ 

    The Rotary Club of Jefferson City Breakfast took tophonors for the amount of food brought in, collectingmore than 2,500 pounds of non-perishable items out-side a supermarket on Saturdays in July. The RotaryClub of Columbia-Metro contributed the most labor, vol-unteering 258 hours at the Food Bank of Central &Northeast Missouri. And the Columbia South, Fultonand Jefferson City Evening clubs collected the mostmoney for the cause, more than $2,000 each.

    Rotary members and guests even repackaged nearly5,000 pounds of Rice Krispies for local food pantries.Dulle says that a volunteer stood on a ladder and shov-elled the cereal from a 15-foot box into a large pan,which was eventually divided by others into servingsizes for innumerable plastic containers ready for deliv-ery.

    Local Rotaract members pitched in as well.

    ―Coordinated projects like these are able to take service

    projects to another level,‖ says Jolyn Sattizahn, predent of the Rotaract Club of Columbia, who helped wthe effort.

    Of the 49 clubs in the district, 36 participated in the tiative.

    Larry Price, president of the Rotary Club of MountaView, says he’ll never forget volunteering at an OzaFood Harvest pantry.

    ―Frankly, I had no idea that so many people in MountView were being served at this site,‖ he says. ―And t

    beneficiaries of the program were quick to express thappreciation to the volunteers as they made their waround the tables.‖ 

    Dulle’s 28 June installation as district governor, at tFood Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri, was atycal. There was no banquet, attendees wore shorts, athe governor was sworn in during a lunch break. wouldn’t have done it any differently. 

    ―It was important that the project be hands-on so could better feel the service we were doing,‖ he sa―Because of the project, clubs are continuing to wo

    with their food banks.‖ 

     And that promises to make a dent in the district’s huger problem in the years to come.
