The Ruston Rotary Club will host the Fourth Annual Jambalaya Fundraiser in the Super 1 Parking lot, March 19, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
A meal of Jambalaya, dessert and crackers for just $10 will be served and will help the Ruston Rotary Club raise funds for its community service projects.
Karl Malone Toyota recently donated tickets to members of the local Lincoln Parish first responder agencies as a thank you to their dedication and hard work.
The jambalaya fundraiser is a way for the community to come together and invest in service as every dollar raised helps Ruston Rotary support meaningful projects that strengthen area schools and care for those in need. Some of these projects include Coats for Kids, dictionaries for third-graders, student scholarships, Christmas gift bags for nursing home residents, and food backpacks for food insecure students.
The Ruston Rotary Coats for Kids program donated 298 coats in October 2025 for elementary students in Lincoln Parish in coordination with The Children’s Shoppe. In May, the Ruston Rotary club will give out four $2,000 scholarships for high school students attending college and new this year is a $2,000 for a student attending the Ruston campus of Louisiana Delta Community College.
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 will feature jambalaya, dessert and crackers. Jambalaya meals or pans maybe ordered for pick up for business or organization between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Thursday.
You may buy a plate for $10 or a quart container of jambalaya for $15, a half pan for $100 for 10 servings or a full pan for $200 for 20 servings. You may also walk up on March 19 at the Super 1 parking lot from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to purchase a meal or a quarter of Jambalaya.
