Gaming Funds Dispersed

At our May 5th meeting, representatives from service groups in our community attended and received cheques from Rotary that had been applied for on their behalf to the Gaming Commission. Pictured is President Pat with Nancy Hamilton, Board Member of the Helping Hands Society receiving a donation of $1000 to be used for the Feeding the Hungry program.

The Feeding the Hungry program revolves around food security at the local leve. Volunteers pick up from a variety of food donors, sort and re-distribute, and then deliver to agencies and groups or individuals in need. Grocers, cafes, and growers large and small are participating because they want to be socially responsible while at the same time reducing their waste. Many recipients live on or below the poverty line and cannot do without this service.
