Lakeville Rotary Collecting for “Cheer For The Children”
This October, Lakeville Rotary is helping local children get the everyday essentials they need to feel confident, comfortable, and ready to learn.
We’re partnering with Cheer For The Children, an organization that provides personal care and other essential items to Minnesota schools for students in need. With 1 in 9 Minnesota children living in poverty, access to basic hygiene products can make a meaningful difference.

Mission Nutrition 2026: Together We Pack!
Lakeville Rotary is once again joining forces with the Lakeville Lions for Mission Nutrition 2026, a community-wide meal-packing event that brings neighbors together to help fight hunger right here at home.

Join us on Saturday, November 14, at the Lakeville Heritage Center, 20110 Holyoke Avenue, as volunteers work side-by-side to pack 14,250 meals—equal to 85,500 servings. With two volunteer shifts available, the goal is to bring together 200 community volunteers for a day of service and impact.

The meals packed during Mission Nutrition will benefit 360 Communities, Lakeville Messiah Food Shelf, The Open Door, The Link, and CAP Agency, helping provide nutritious food to individuals and families throughout our community. missionnutritionflyer2026

Rotarians—we need you! This is a wonderful opportunity to serve alongside fellow club members, friends, family members, and community volunteers. Bring someone with you and help demonstrate Rotary’s commitment to Service Above Self.

The 24th annual Taste of Lakeville was held on Aug. 20 where local food and drink vendors had the opportunity to showcase their products to the Lakeville community. 

Hosted by Lakeville’s Rotary Club, the mission of this event is not only to highlight local businesses, but to also raise money for community projects, such as the 360 Communities Lewis House, global humanitarian efforts, and local scholarships. Over the past three years, Taste of Lakeville has raised nearly half a million dollars for these efforts. 

Entertainment for the event was provided by Coyote Wild, a midwestern band who combines country and classic rock in a unique format.

Next year’s Taste of Lakeville will be held on Aug. 19, 2027. More information about the event can be found at https://tasteoflakeville.org/.
