In a presentation given during the Rotarian weekly meeting, the group was given an update on the the program and its nearly 100 participates.

Feed the Kids is a 8 year old non-profit initiative that works with Drew County's local school districts to supply meals for children who might not be receiving meals outside of the school day. School identified children attending Pre-K through Middle School have food placed in their backpacks, during breaks, on on Fridays to ensure they have food for the weekend in case their parents are unable to feed them. The names of families participating is limited to the school districts and kept confidential. 

Each weekend children are given packs with 6 meals estimated to cost around $8. Rotary's donation is expected to provide 2,250 meals for needy Drew County's needy children.

In 2013, Monticello's Rotary Club adopted Feed the Kids as its service project, pledging support and assist to the program.

THE FOUR-WAY TEST

The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings:

Of the things we think, say or do
  1. Is it the TRUTH?
  2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
  3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
  4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
