2024 Rotary Club - Holiday Meal Program

 
Our Rotary Club is working with J.C.E.O. and the Senior Citizens Council to provide holiday meals to needy families and senior citizens.
 
This is the 17th year that our club has provided the fixings for a meal or provided a holiday meal gift card to area families.  We are hoping to help 50 families this year. So far, 42 families will be receiving a meal.
 
If you are interested in adopting a family and providing a nourishing meal, please contact Bob Parks at (518) 578-8195 or by email at bob.parks2016@gmail.com.  Ryan Lee will be Bob’s co-chair this year.
 
Also, Bob will have a sign-up sheet at this week’s meeting.  Family names, addresses, etc. will be assigned soon.
