Promoting Food Security in Our Local Communities - A Conversation With Carrie Donaire

On today’s episode of The “Center” we’re joined by Carrie Donaire, the 2024-25 president of the Rotary Club of Clinton, Iowa. Under her leadership, the Rotary Club of Clinton will host its first annual Food Security Summit on Thursday, March 27, 2025. 

The Food Security Summit aims to bring together Clinton’s social service agencies and county organizations to collaborate on developing sustainable solutions to food insecurity, including promoting community planning, and raising awareness about resources available to those who are struggling with food insecurity within the community of Clinton.

Carrie’s Peace Corps service in Nicaragua focusing on food security and agricultural initiatives has influenced her love and interest for developing this project, and the goal for the project is to “unite local organizations… to influence meaningful progress in the fight against food insecurity in Clinton.”
