The Rotary of Ipswich donates truckloads of supplies to the Open Door Food Panty.
At the club's meeting last week, Rotarians loaded up two vans from their “25 Days of Giving” initiative in December. Using a reverse Advent Calendar method, club members added one item daily according to a 25 day calendar leading up to the Holidays. Donations ranged from food to clothing to small kitchen appliances.
Seen loading the Open Door van are Open Door Executive Director Julie LaFontaine, President Cushing Titcomb, and Open Door Ipswich Manager Luke Kleindienst.
On Monday September 18th, the Ipswich High School Interact Club sponsored the weekly Dinner Bell at the Masonic Temple. Working with a team of weekly Dinner Bell volunteers and some Ipswich Rotarians, seven high school students served dinner to over one hundred community members. The Interact students had a fantastic time serving and meeting the attendees, and in between refilling coffee cups and clearing dirty dishes. Many interesting stories were exchanged and some new connections were made.
