Thanks to Ottawa University so much for allowing the Surprise & Sun City West Rotary Club to host the 2025 Meals of Hope Event in October at Ottawa University in Surprise. We had approximately 95 volunteers, including the Women’s Basketball Team. Ottawa University and their parents can be very proud of these women!
In 2.5 hours, we exceeded the event’s goal and packed appropriately 25,657 meals or 89 boxes for the Valley View Community Food Bank.
