One of the most gratifying aspects of being involved in Rotary is the ability to help others in need. We held our Rotary Food Drive Saturday and it turned it to be one of our most successful drives!!! All the customers showed up and donated generously! We were also able to collect a lot of cash donations to buy more groceries to stock the local food pantries. And of course our membership made their own separate donations!!
This couldn’t have been done without the support of our membership, Shop-Rite for always giving us the place to collect and the produce department in providing us the boxes to pack the goods, and to our Passaic Valley HS Interact Club for volunteering to support our efforts. We had eleven engaging, committed and active students that were very helpful. Thanks to Amaris, Kim, Christina, Kim, Mike, Megan, Arlene and Briana for standing out in the cold soliciting and collecting. Special shoutout to Bonnie, (honorary member) Bear, Megan, and Arlene that made the deliveries possible to the pantries. All the pantries were extremely grateful for our efforts this time of year when supplies are running low!!
Proud of our club and our commitment. Anyone interested in joining our mighty club please reach out!!
