Join the Rotary Youth Exchange
Florence Rotarians are
currently looking for stu-
dents and host families to
be involved in Rotary Inter-
national’s Youth Exchange
Program this coming year.
The Youth Exchange
Program is a structured
program of Rotary Inter-
national to provide young
people with an opportunity
to meet individuals from
other countries, experience
new cultures, and learn
first-hand about all aspects
of life in another country.
These exchanges are open
to students 15 to 19 years
old, and usually span for
one academic year. Students
live with more than one
family in the host country
and are required to attend
school there.
Host families, host clubs
and entire communities
are enriched by extended
friendly contact with some-
one from a different cul-
ture. The program instills in
young people the concept of
international understand-
ing and goodwill.
Florence Rotary provides
three host families for ap-
proximately three months
each. If you are interested in
becoming a host family for
one of these young students,
please contact Beth Webb at
509-389-8619 or Jody Driv-
er at 509-378-5710.
For students and families
interested in the outgoing
student program, there will
be an informational pre-
sentation coming this Sep-
tember, with the date and
time of the event to be an-
nounced through the high
school and local media.

CATHOLIC CHURCH
New Life Lutheran
helps feed the hungry
When the offering plate
is passed around during
the Sunday service at New
Life Lutheran, Florence
Food Share “keeps the
change” as all the coins
go to it. The church also
hosts a community sup-
per once a month during
nine months of the year
and has a “bread Sunday”
once a month to add to
the food pantry.
A new program has just
been initiated with the
Church Council’s blessing
by Bryant and Gail Payne.
Green bags are given to
members of the congre-
gation to fill with canned
goods and other nonper-
ishable foods. Bryant re-
ported that he collected
225 pounds of food and
delivered it to food share.
This is the way the church
fulfills the biblical direc-
tive to feed the hungry.
Florence Food Share
began in 1980 as a grass-
roots movement to pro-
vide emergency food to
the needy, elderly, un-
employed and underem-
ployed of Florence. It was
put together by a group of
churches, including New
Life Lutheran, and oper-
ated out of people’s garag-
es and car trunks.
Originally called Man-
na Ministries, the food
share operated out of var-
ious locations until 1994
when it found a perma-
nent home at New Life
Lutheran Church.
The Florence Food
Share building was built
with grants and a local
building fund drive led
by Del Phelps and Dave
Dahlberg. Local contrac-
tor Robert Wilcox led
the volunteers and paid
workers for the comple-
tion of the building. The
land on which it is built
is leased to the food share
by the church for $1 a
year.
Florence Food Share
handles not only pack-
aged food items but
grows a garden with fresh
produce. The food is giv-
en at no cost to those who
submit an application and
qualify.
Florence Food Share is
located on New Life Lu-
theran property at 2100
Spruce St. It continues to
thrive and grow.
