Rotary collects items for free clinics
The blue barrel is inside the vestibule at Neighborhood Fresh.
 
The Rotary Club of North Manchester is collecting items for 85 Hope this spring at Neighborhood Fresh.
 
85 HOPE free medical clinics provide primary health care to uninsured and under-insured, low-income adult residents of Wabash County. Its sites in North Manchester and Wabash have served thousands of people in the county.
 
The Rotary service club thanks the North Manchester store for its willingness to aid a worthy local cause. You can buy items there to donate or drop them off on your way in.

Pollinator gardens
Our club continues to look for ways to support pollinators.
In 2021, we collaborated with the North Manchester Public Library, Wabash County Purdue Extension and others to establish a pollinator garden at the library.
In 2022, we hope to refresh the garden bed at the Rotary Gazebo between the library and Thomas Marshall House.
