Who savors the moment aroma from a delicious, hot meal hits your senses? Especially when you are hungry!
At 11 a.m., with the lunch hour approaching, fellow RAH members set off to deliver mobile meals. And the meals smelled fantastic. Mobile Meals of La Crosse needed help with deliveries from the Mayo clinic kitchen to serve a healthy, nutritious meal to those in need, including seniors, disabled, or home-bound individuals. RAH stepped up the week of January 18-24. Delivering meals to people who really need and appreciate it is a wonderful feeling. It’s also a chance to contemplate all that we have. All that we sometimes take for granted. When a door cracks open and hands reach out for the food delivery, there is a connection. A connection of community. A need fulfilled. To have RAH step in and help fill that need makes us who we are! We are a club committed to helping people.
Thank you all who helped with deliveries and all who are a part of RAH!

We will be partnering with Mobile Meals of La Crosse again to provide volunteers to deliver lunchtime meals during the week of March 22nd - March 28th. We are looking for 1 or 2 volunteers each day that week to deliver meals together on our designated Route 5, which has stops spanning from downtown La Crosse to French Island. Meal pickup is at 10:45 a.m. at Mayo Clinic on Market Street between 10th and 11th Streets at a door marked "Mobile Meals". Delivery takes about 1.5 hours. Volunteers will be provided with more detailed instructions before their shift.
Non-Rotary volunteers are welcome! If you volunteer with another person, I would encourage you to coordinate beforehand whose car you will be taking -- RAH is assigned one route per day, so volunteers will be driving the same route together.
All meals are planned and prepared by Mayo Clinic and are delivered by volunteers to senior, disabled, or home-bound individuals in our community. Your support is crucial to sustaining Mobile Meals and makes a huge difference to the individuals served.
