Food for the Soul 2026: 200,000+ Meals and Counting!
Join the Rotary Club of Harlem on Saturday, November 21, 2026, for Food for the Soul, our community food-packaging event!
Since launching in 2017, Food for the Soul has brought together Rotarians, volunteers, and community partners to fight food insecurity and nourish our Harlem neighbors. Together, we've packaged more than 200,000 meals, demonstrating the power of community service and collective action.
Over the years, packaged meals have been shared with community organizations, including New York Common Pantry, Abyssinian Baptist Church, and Fraternité Notre Dame, helping extend the impact of Food for the Soul throughout Harlem.
This year, we're continuing that tradition of service! In partnership with The Outreach Program, volunteers will assemble meals featuring rice and beans and macaroni and cheese for distribution to Harlemnites in need.
**There are two ways to make a difference:**
- Donate: Your contribution helps purchase the food and supplies needed to make this event possible. Just $5 helps package 10 meals!

Every helping hand and every contribution makes a difference.
