King's Ridge Interact Club Puts Together Meals For Families in Need

From the Rotary Club of Alpharetta: The Interact Club at King’s Ridge Christian School started strong this year, teaming up with Meals by Grace on April 14, 2017 to put together more than 3 weeks’ worth of meals for families in need in the North Fulton area.

Meals by Grace, Inc. is a program of The Bridge and is a 501c3 non-profit ministry focused on providing food support through multiple programs to children and families in need. The families are recommended to the program by school social workers, childcare center directors and poverty trained counselors. The Interact Club at King’s Ridge, led by Cambri Driskell, decided to work with Meals by Grace and focus on serving families in need in the North Fulton area.

The Interact Club supplied enough food bags for three weeks of meals for the summer food distribution program by raising money and bringing in reusable shopping bags through donations from the student body. The students formed an assembly line to put together the meals, and with all the Interact Club’s members, they quickly had 3 weeks of meals ready.

Cambri Driskell, the student at King’s Ridge who chartered the club, said “As the head of the first King’s Ridge Interact Club, I look forward to carrying out many more projects like this next year with the club's members and with the entire school.”

Alpharetta Rotary Club President, Jason Binder, said “This project is a great start for our new Interact Club at King’s Ridge. I look forward to seeing all the wonderful and impactful projects they will do next year that will benefit our community.”
