Buddy Box Connection

To close out the school year, we distributed 1,815 Buddy Boxes in one day to our preschool partners, providing critical nutritional support for children throughout the summer!

This tremendous undertaking would not have been possible without the support of Jet Container Co. for providing their truck and driver Scott. Their willingness to invest their time and resources makes a lasting impact on children in our community. We are also grateful to our longtime volunteer, Sarah, whose assistance was invaluable in making this project a success.

Celebrate a fantastic school year with a sweet treat from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams (Clintonville)! Stop by their location at 4247 N. High St. today between 4–7 PM and enjoy some delicious ice cream with family and friends.

Even better, 25% of all sales during that time will be donated to support our Buddy Box Program. It’s a fun and easy way to celebrate while helping students right here in our community!

We hope to see you there!

Thank you Lance, for your dedication, compassion, and commitment to our Buddy Box Program!

510 Buddy Boxes packed in one night? That’s what happens when the Dublin-Worthington Rotary Club members roll up their sleeves and get to work!

A huge thank you to these amazing volunteers for their continued support of our Buddy Box program and their commitment to helping local children.

Your generosity and teamwork are making a real difference in our community!

Turning a birthday into something truly impactful!

In honor of her birthday, Sara Grieshop rallied her friends and family to support our Buddy Box program — and the results were incredible! Sara and her husband delivered an amazing 1,642 applesauce containers plus over $250 in donations to help feed local children on the weekend.

We’re so grateful for volunteers like Sara who turn celebrations into acts of kindness and generosity. Thank you Sara and Happy Birthday!
