Rotary Club of Lockport had begun seeking proposals from area food pantries prior to District 7090's request for COVID - 19 proposals.  The club’s foundation is facing an uncertain outlook for income from its Mothers' Day rose sale and its Community Celebration Raffle. However, the emergency needs of newly unemployed and obvious stress on food pantry resources had motivated some members to ask that the club do something sooner than later.It was decided to donate $500 each to the Society of St Vincent de Paul and Brother's Keeper Outreach food pantries in Lockport, once documentation is received for allowable expenses. St. Vincent's representative, Michael Ulrich and Brother's Keeper's Gordon Langdon expressed their gratitude for the much-needed contributions. The District 7090 grant is expected to be matched by the club's resources for several other food pantries. | ||
