Ipswich-Rowley Rotary successfully completed its annual food drive to benefit The Open Door’s Ipswich Food Pantry and is pleased to announce that 1230 pounds of food was collected in February at seven locations in Ipswich and Rowley. The Open Door staff said they appreciated both the quantity and the quality of the food donated.

Since Valentine’s Day falls in February, the theme for this year’s drive was “Share the Love” for our neighbors in need. Rotary is grateful for the support of our participating drop off locations and to our friends and neighbors who donated food this year. Donations were collected at the Ipswich offices of The Institution for Savings, BankGloucester, Brookline Bank, the Ipswich YMCA, the Ipswich Public Library and North Shore 24 Fitness in Rowley.

 

Twice a year for the past eight years Rotary Club of Woburn has provided Birthday Party Bag Kits to the local food pantry at the Council of Social Concern.  Last week about 30 kits were assembled with $20 worth of goodies each.  The bags contain cake mix, icing, candles, party plates, napkins and flatware for struggling local families.
