Aruba Quota Shares Service

The Aruba Quota club performs several community service projects at the same time in their partnership with a local "Meals on Wheels" program.

The Meals on Wheels Foundation has sponsored meal distribution in Aruba for more than three decades. Hot meals are distributed twice a week to 86 needy people in the community.

Members of the Aruba club serve as volunteers for meal distribution and add a special touch of Quota caring to the project—each meal recipient receives a mug with the Quota International logo and motto, "We Share."

As part of the club's youth mentoring activities, members invite female students to ride with Quota volunteers when the meals are delivered and help out with distribution. The Aruba club reports that the method raises the consciousness of local teens about community issues and instills a strong belief in the value of service.
