Williamstown Rotary Helps Food Pantry

Print Story | Email Story
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Saturday, Aug. 24, the Williamstown Rotary Club pitched in to help the Williamstown Food Pantry.
 
The Pantry distributes shelf-stable food and home supplies to the community two Wednesdays a month. It is located at the Parish Center of Sts. Patrick and Raphael Catholic Church in Williamstown.
 
This year the Rotary Club provided the Food Pantry with a grant from the Rotary district, and the local Club cleaned up the space, installed a handrail, sorted and rotated the inventory, and bought a new freezer. 
 
Participants included Paul Dube, Maureen O'Mara, Linda Sweeney, Bob Ware, Valerie Hall, and Jim Mahon. 
 
The Club had helped get the Pantry started more than twenty years ago with a grant from Rotary District 7890. 
 
In 2021, Club members came back and built shelves, applied shelf paper, and bought a refrigerator.
