This past weekend, members of the Winchester Rotary volunteered at the Greater Boston Food Bank, sorting and packing food for families across Eastern Massachusetts facing food insecurity.
It was a meaningful reminder of how a few hours of service can make a real difference for our neighbors in need. We’re proud to support the Food Bank’s important work and grateful to our members who continue to put Service Above Self into action.
More than 70 volunteers—Rotarians, WHS Interact Club members, Lion’s Heart members, families, and Kids’ Corner staff, assembled 15 wooden beds on Saturday, September 27, at Kids’ Corner. The project, organized in partnership with the Lynn-based Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless, will provide safe beds for local children who have experienced homelessness.
“As Rotarians, our motto is Service Above Self,” said Club President Rebecca Brennan-Laird. “Our club is doing what we can to make our community—and our world—a better place, whenever and wherever we can.”
One longtime Rotarian said it was especially gratifying to work shoulder-to-shoulder with young people on a hands-on project with immediate impact.
