Rotary is grateful to these partner organizations for their support, and appreciates this opportunity to provide service to our communities.
Open Door President and CEO Julie LaFontaine commented that “Winter is here and food drives like this one help stock our shelves with staples people rely on. We’re so thankful that the Ipswich-Rowley Rotary Club has coordinated this opportunity for the community to donate”. She added that “Food prices are at a 40-year high, and every donation helps put food on the table for local people”.
Food can be donated at the establishments listed above from January 2 through 27.
