Interact Students Help Rotary & KAH

The Bainbridge Rotary Club supports the Kids Against Hunger organization out of Cairo, GA.  On Tuesday, Rotary hosted a meal packing day for our club and invited the GCA and BHS Interact clubs to participate.  Grace was excited to take 20 students, and within two hours they bagged up enough packets to feel over 7,500 meals.  It was a great service day for GCA
