The Rotary Club of Welland has been successful in receiving a grant of USD $1,000 from Rotary District 7090 for COVID-19 applicable expenses.  The application was to support Welland’s Hope Centre.Jon Braithwaite, CEO of The Hope Centre, stated that their shelter has been designated as an isolation shelter. They have identified people who would be especially vulnerable should they contract COVID-19 and have isolated them at the shelter. For that reason, they are not able to leave for such things as food deliveries. Jon expressed a need for single-serve frozen meals which are presently hard to come by. The Rotary Club of Welland partnered with Robert Landry, the Franchisee of the Welland M & M Food Market to supply over 372 frozen meals to The Hope Centre. Delivery took place on April 14th. Jon Braithwaite stated “That is outstanding! Thanks again for this phenomenal contribution…it will make a huge difference”.
