Douglas County Rotarians Serve Meals to Homeless

The Rotary Club of Douglas County served over 100 hot meals to the residents of Sanctary Village. Sanctuary Village is a temporary residence for people in the Accountability Court in Douglas County. Judge Beau McClain helped establish the program after observing that homelessness was a barrier to success for many of the drug court participants.

Rotarian Joe Williams spent hours smoking ribs and chicken in preparation for the lunch. "This is a big population in the county, and they are trying to get back on their feet," Williams said. "We wanted to give them a hot meal and show that we are supporting them."

After serving at Sanctuary Village, the Rotary members traveled to the camp for the homeless near the courthouse and served about 25 residents there.
