O It is a wonderful time of year for giving, and the Spanish Fork Rotarians are always focused on looking for ways to serve our community. Recently, we collected donations for the Nebo School District’s Nebo Pantry and were able to provide coats, hygiene items and food at our visit to Landmark High School on December 19, 2023. This is the eighth year in a row the Spanish Fork Rotary Club has had Angel Trees at businesses in our local community, with each tree giving people the opportunity to donate clothing, hygiene supplies and food to support the Nebo Pantry.
The Nebo Pantry that is located at Landmark High School, began in 2014 under the direction of the school’s social worker Monica Hullinger who understands the needs of the students. Hullinger provides a list of the most needed items to the Spanish Fork Rotary Club each year, and also makes sure that the students at the school are involved in unloading and organizing the items that are donated to the pantry.
Hullinger expressed gratitude to all of the community organizations and individual families that support the Nebo Pantry by providing donations.
If you are interested in donating to the Nebo Pantry, please contact Monica Hullinger at monica.hullinger@nebo.edu, or 801-798-4030 for additional information on this community service program. The Nebo Pantry would gladly accept any food, new clothing items, and any school or hygiene supplies. All donations made to the Nebo Pantry are used to help students and families in Nebo School District.
Supporting the Nebo Pantry helps the Spanish Fork Rotary Club fulfill two of the areas of focus of Rotary: 1. Maternal and Child Health and 2. Basic Literacy and Education. The Spanish Fork Rotary Club is part of Rotary International. Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
