Representatives of a variety of organizations traveled to Camp Herrlich in Patterson last Thursday and in addition to being treated to a picnic lunch, guests received Carmel Rotary Club community contributions resulting from the Carmel Rotary Club’s “Give Away” to local not-for-profit organizations that resulted from funds collected at last winter’s annual Rotary Basketball Challenge.

A total of $20,750 was disbursed.

The following organizations benefited:

Camp Herrlich, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Putnam County, Carmel Fire Department, CoveCare, Gilead Presbyterian Church Food Pantry; Brewster Community Food Pantry, St. John’s Church Food Pantry, Mt. Carmel Baptist Church Food Pantry, Putnam CAP, Second Chance Foods, Putnam Recreation Programs and Habitation, Putnam County Children’s Committee, Putnam Women’s Resource Center, Friends of the Putnam Child Advocacy Center, Putnam Community Cares and Putnam Humane Society.
