Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise donates to local food banks!

The Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise was able to provide some good news during a bleak week. This week much needed groceries with a wholesale value exceeding $4000 were delivered to two of Cornwall's food banks..... $2000 each, to both the Agape Centre and the Salvation Army.

This was truly an exercise in teamwork by the Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise and members of our community. Rotarians worked hard raising the funds through both the Cornwall Bingo Hall events and doing 50/50 at the Cornwall Prowlers games. Under the leadership of club president Peter Labelle, giving back to the community was organized with assistance from Barry Height at Baxtron's YIG who helped obtain the cooperation of Sysco (Tannis Food Distribution) to ensure the groceries would be delivered without affecting the inventory of stores in Cornwall. Management at each of the food banks selected $2000 worth of groceries that were defined by their client's needs and Sysco delivered them.  It is everyone's hope that this will help to make things a little easier for some of Cornwall's residents.
