Rotary Spreads Holiday Cheer to Food Pantry

The Whitehall Food Pantry received two checks on December 14th to help support its efforts to feed local people in need. The Whitehall Rotary Club has been a long-time supporter of the Food Pantry, and the amount donated by the club was matched by Mountain View Real Estate owner and Rotarian Karen Burtch.

The Rotary Club currently raises money for community projects through aluminum can recycling and a donation jar at the KFC/A&W. Projects include sending up to two high school students to the Rotary Youth Leadership Academy, two scholarships for graduating seniors, the Wheelchair Award that recognizes others in the valley who give community service, bike safety class and dictionaries for third graders and Christmas gift bags for residents at Meadowlark Manor and Liberty Place.
