Comstock Park Rotary purchased 2,700 masks that are being distributed in our local communities. Some of the recipients of the donated masks include: Plainfield Township, WWW-YMCA, Alpine Fire Department, WalMart, Sanctuary of St. Mary's Senior Living Center, DKM, McDonalds Alpine, Beuschel's Funeral Home, Bauble Patch, Amore, Vista Springs Nursing Home, Boulder Creek Nursing Home, Grand Rapids Home for Veterans, and Feeding America. The recipients of the masks deeply express their appreciation to CP Rotary for their generous support during this difficult time.
Due to the dire need for food in our area, Comstock Park Rotary also contributed $4,000 as a donation to Feeding America to help those in our communities who are in need.
Things you can do as a Rotarian during the COVID-19 Pandemic:

- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or upper sleeve when coughing or sneezing.
