Rotary Food Drive
Rotary Club of Wakefield partnered with the YMCA to collect food for our Community. 918 lbs. of food was donated and delivered to the Johnny Cake Food Pantry to help brighten the Thanksgiving holiday for our neighbors in need. “Caring and Sharing” is paramount during these difficult times and The Rotary Club of Wakefield continues to do what they can to make a difference.
