The COVID-19 pandemic has hit our community hard, forcing small businesses to close and ordering families to stay home. As a result, food insecurity has become a reality in many households and our favorite local restaurants are feeling the negative effects of decreased sales.
The Sunrise Rotary Club of Plymouth wants to provide support to Plymouth's locally-owned restaurants while feeding Plymouth families in need during the COVID-19 crisis. Each week Sunrise Rotary is partnering up with a local restaurant and a local sponsor to provide dinner for families experiencing financial hardships due to the pandemic. Together, we can support, nourish, and heal our community. One warm meal at a time.
Yesterday we had the privilege of recognizing Bob Hollis. Our president Bob Robert McMakin presented Bob with a multiple Paul Harris Fellow lapel pin in appreciation of his generous contribution to the annual Paul Harris Foundation.

The Plymouth Recovery Center opened on July 5th. The center is designed after the peer-to-peer recovery centers that Gandara Centers runs in Brockton and Hyannis. Kelly and four other Gandara employees from the Hyannis-based Pier Recovery Center of Cape Cod have been volunteering their time locally since the Plymouth center opened July 5.
The center is located at the South Shore Community Action Council headquarters on Obery Street, where it occupies a suite of offices.
The Plymouth Recovery Center started moving into the space July 1, fulfilling a promise made by local businessman and Plymouth Sunrise Rotary Member Robert Hollis, who rallied the community to raise money for the program in memory of his son, Rob, who died of an overdose last fall after two years of sobriety.
Thanks to the members and friends of the Plymouth Sunrise Rotary who helped give the interior of the center a freshly painted look organized by member and interior designer, Cheryl Terrill of Interior Bliss Designs.
Congratulations to our newest Paul Harris Fellows: Lisa Braun, Michael Botieri, Bob Hollis, Matt Muratore, Cliff Westberg. District Deptury Steve Certa presented the certificates.
