Joel Benton, General Manager and Julie Martin, General Sales Manager, and Rusty Wilfong, Service Manager of Karl Malone Toyota purchased Ruston Rotary Jambalaya meal tickets for the First Responders of Ruston and Lincoln Parish.
First Responders receiving the meal tickets include the Lincoln Parish Sheriff Department, Ruston Police Department, Lincoln Parish Fire and the Ruston Fire Department. Pictured above are members of each department just after the tickets were handed out to the First Responders leaders for all their department team members. The First Responders will pick up their meals Thursday at the Super 1 Food Parking lot on Thursday from 11 an to 1 pm.
Money raised helps the Ruston Rotary Club fund their community-related projects. Some of these include the Coats for Kids program which donated 226 coats in October for elementary students in Lincoln and Jackson parishes in coordination with The Children’s Shoppe and Jonesboro State Bank. In May, the Ruston Rotary club will give out four $2,000 scholarships for high school students attending college in the fall.
Rotarians pick up food backpacks every Thursday during the school year at Super 1 and drop them off at Hillcrest Elementary for needy students to take home on Friday for meals over the weekend. During the fall, Rotarians give Lincoln Parish third grade students their very own dictionary to keep in the classroom or at home. Rotarians are also involved in the Med-Camp Fall Halloween Bash held at Camp Alabama every year the Saturday before Halloween with the Rotarians dressed up as Wizard of Oz characters.
Each meal features jambalaya, corn and green beans. You may buy a plate for $10 or a quart container of jambalaya for $15. Walk up plates or quarters are available on Thursday, March 27 at the Super 1 parking lot from 11 am to 1 pm.
