President Candy Macomber announced that Scarborough Rotary won a competitive application for a District Grant to help provide funding for Scarborough Schools' backpack lunch program.

The program is a way for school cafeteria workers to discreetly give hungry students a backpack stuffed with food to take home. For some kids, school lunch is the main, or sometimes only, meal. During vacations and weekends, many of them do not have food to eat.
