Changing the name of a nearly 40 year-old organization is a big decision. But as our work has expanded over the years, we realized that our name no longer adequately represented the breadth and depth of our operations. While many people were aware of Rotary First Harvest (as we’ve been named since 1999), even our closest partners and supporters didn’t fully understand our impact.
Our new name, Harvest Against Hunger – a program of Rotary District 5030, is more descriptive of our work, while still reflecting the deep Rotary roots of the organization. We’ve developed this FAQ to help further explain the decision and the story behind the name change.
