Description
Join us Thanksgiving Morning for the 16th annual Race for Grace 5K Run & 1 mile walk presented by the Eastside Community Ministry, Grace Church and the Rotary Club Zanesville. Runners and walkers of all skill level welcome! All proceeds raised from this event go to Eastside Community Ministry’s Choice Food Pantry and Noon Rotary’s Healthy Bodies Health Minds programs.
The ECM Choice Food Pantry permits families to visit once a month, providing enough groceries to prepare 3 meals for 3 days for each individual in the household and allows individuals to choose their own food. This helps eliminate food waste and also allows families to have a choice in what food they are feeding to their families. For the months of January 2024 – July 2024 the pantry has served 3,213 families with 9,314 family members and provided enough groceries to prepare 83,826 meals.
In the spring of 2024, Rotary’s Healthy Bodies Health Minds provided 100 meals bags for low-income children to bridge the gap between the end of school and the summer lunch program starting. For the 2024-2025 school year, Rotary is partnering with Maysville schools to provide 100 meal bags every week of the school year to provide weekend meals for students.
