Rotary Club donates money to North County Food Bank, announces partnership

Battle Ground — The Rotary Club of Three Creeks announced that the North County Food Bank will serve as the club’s nonprofit community partner. The Rotary donated a check for $10,000 to the food bank, which will have the opportunity to be the club’s partner for up to two more years. Rotary members selected the food bank as their partner after 10 local nonprofits made pitches in a “Shark Tank”-style event. “Each one of the groups presenting at the ‘Shark Tank’ event is truly doing great things in our community and are certainly deserving,” Liz Cerveny, executive director at North County Community Food Bank, said in a release from the club. “I am humbled and I feel extremely fortunate having the North County Community Food Bank selected.” Funds for this award were raised in the first two seasons of the club’s primary fundraiser, Dancing with the Local Stars 2.0. The Rotary Club of Three Creeks is approaching its third anniversary and serves Hazel Dell, Felida, Salmon Creek and Ridgefield.
