During this time of COVID-19 and the reduction of fundraising revenues, the Rotary Club of Dundas Valley Sunrise is starting to do more small, one-day sweat equity work in its community. Derek Price, vocational service director planned the first project that involved cleaning up the Sunrise Rotary Community Garden at St. Mark’s Church.
Nine members of the club cut weeds around the deer fence and garden beds and then laid black ground paper between the gardens and topped with wood chips to keep the weeds under control. The place looks super and the gardeners commented on how pristine it looked!
Each Monday and Wednesday a crew of non-Rotarians and Rotarians harvest the 26 community beds and transport the produce to the Salvation Army Dundas Food Bank and the Hamilton Jewish Family Services Food Bank.
