ENDICOTT ROTARY MEMBERS DISTRIBUTE FOOD BASKETS FOR THE ENDICOTT FAMILIES OF NEED FOR THE HOLIDAYS
ENDICOTT, NY – Endicott Rotarians will distribute over $10,000 worth of food and goods to families of need within the Union Endicott community. 100 families will receive over $100 of groceries and a little present of a coloring book and crayons. These are families that need the extra boost during the holiday break.
Boxes were prepared on Monday by over 20 Rotarians in 4 shifts at the Lupo’s new Federal Plant. Sam Lupo of Lupo’s coordinates this event along with Rotarian David Powell each year. Local merchants donated some of the food items with The Endicott Rotary Foundation purchasing the balance of food and goods.
“Each year Rotary has donated food boxes to families in need. This is our 20th year and each year we continue to expand the project. This year each family will receive 3 boxes of food, a turkey and a family coloring book and crayons for holiday break. Our hope is that this extra boost feeds families and children while school is on break as well as providing them with their holiday meal.” Said David Powell, Endicott Rotarian
Distribution will take place tomorrow to families previously chosen through the Union Endicott School District from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM at the district office, 1100 East Main St, Endicott, NY 13760. This is annual event for the community each year.
This project continues to be part of the Celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Endicott Rotary Club in the Village of Endicott.
