ONGOING SUPPORT RECOGNIZED

The Rotary Club of Delhi members and supporters gathered on Saturday, December 5, at the local Independent Grocer to honour, Matt Wilkinson, with a Paul Harris Fellow for his ongoing support in the community.  

 
Club Secretary Bill Graham, recounted the numerous times Matt Wilkinson, Owner/Operator of the Independent Grocer in Delhi, Ontario, had worked with other organizations and individuals to address a need in the community. He has provided years of support to the Delhi Sharing Cupboard Food Bank, prizes and grocery support for community fundraisers and events, and a caring helpful philosophy with the community. One example is during the recent harvest season, Matt worked with the Delhi Chamber of Commerce to process more than 340 grocery orders for seasonal farmworkers affected by COVID-19 social distancing requirements. The grocery orders could be picked up safely at a local warehouse separate from any grocery store site. 
 
Club Secretary Bill presented the PHF certificate while Club President Deborah Grisch, presented the pin to Matt in the presence of his wife and two daughters, and many employees who were delighted to be part of this "surprise" recognition for Matt.
