Starting the Day with Service

On Saturday, September 14th, more than 16 members of the Crystal City-Pentagon Rotary Club volunteered at the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) to package black beans and oats, both nutritious staples in daily meals.
AFAC serves the Arlington community and provides dignified access to free groceries, which allows families to devote their limited financial resources to obligations such as housing, utilities, medication, and other basic needs.
Crystal City-Pentagon Rotary Club members have been volunteering at AFAC for several years, and it is always a rewarding fellowship and community service experience.
“Helping others is a great way to start the day,” said Club President Dr. Marina Theodotou. Rotarians Past President Dr. Grace Mukupa and Member Kim Murphy organized and coordinated the effort, with several other similar volunteering days in the works for the Rotary Year.
