Saturday, March 22
We need your help: Produce distribution
Our club meeting on Thursday, March 20 will be at 11:30 a.m. at Second Harvest Food Bank where we will make produce boxes for distribution on Saturday.
The monthly produce distribution is at Weston Park on Saturday, March 22. Set up begins at 7:30 a.m. Food distribution begins at or before 8:30 a.m. and is finished when all the produce is distributed, usually around 10 a.m.
This is one of our local Rotary Club's Big Impact Projects to help make fresh vegetables and fruits available to all. We partner with the Marguerite Neel Williams Boys & Girls Club, Envision Credit Union and Thomasville National Bank to sponsor these monthly events, but we need Rotarians to volunteer their time to help with box creation and distributions. Please come.
