Ipswich-Rowley Rotarians continued a tradition with the Open Door of bringing cheer and laughter in a full bag of everything needed for a joyful birthday party of eight children. Birthday-in-a-Bag!For four years, Rotarians have packed 25 bags for re-distribution at the Gloucester-based food pantry. Each bag, tied with colorful ribbons, contained – Happy Birthday Banner, Cake Mix, Can of Frosting, Birthday Cake Candles, Plates, Flat Ware, Cups, Napkins, Tablecloth, Party Hats, Party Noise Makers, Party Games to Play, and a full Bag of Candy.
Children’s birthday celebrations add additional stress to families already experiencing food insecurity. This Ipswich-Rowley Rotary donation of laughter and joy in a bag hopefully adds a day filled with fun for all!
