First Yard sale success in 2023!

The Club's First Community Yard Sale on September 29, 2023 was a great opening act...over 50 vendors purchased tables at $25 each. We had a food truck serving delectable delights. All made a contribution to the Rotary Club Foundation. It was a welcoming and fun event that brought together our community!

Voorhees Breakfast Club has a Corporate Membership Program

Does your business or organization want to get involved with Rotary and the Voorhees Breakfast Rotary Club in particular? We have a Corporate Membership Program, which is open to any type of business or organization. We have designed it to give you the maximum amount of flexibility to participate in Rotary. 

The structure is simple. When approved for membership, you are able to "share" your participation among up to five individuals in your organization. These “corporate designees” can divide responsibility for attending club meetings, serving on projects, and participating in club activities. (Of course, you all may attend together at any meeting or function - you are all considered members.) 
 
Our dues and fees are reasonable. The quarterly cost per member is $80, plus the cost of meals. We have 6 in-person meetings per quarter.
 
If you are interested, please reach out to any of our members, or to our membership chair, Jacqui Canter, jacquic@verizon.net / 609-280-6081; or Past President, Steve Neuner, sneuner@nv-njlaw.com / 609-230-0040. To find out more about what we do and who we are visit our Facebook page or our elsewhere on this website.

In Memoriam, Mark J. Schott

Sadly, on May 5, 2022 our club lost a great friend and great Rotarian, Mark J. Schott. Mark was a founding member of the club and a Past President. He was always active and supportive of the club and its members. For 13 years he spearheaded our signature fundraising event, the annual Community Service Awards Dinner. 
He had a joyous spirit. He was filled with public spirit in so many things he did, and was always a source of wisdom. Our club will greatly miss him. Read more about him on the next page.
Here is a tribute video we created in his honor: https://youtu.be/UO6VWrRS2II

Hope Church Food Pantry Partnership- providing Essential Personal Care Products to persons in need

Hope Church Food Pantry Partnership- providing Essential Personal Care Products to persons in need

The Voorhees Breakfast Rotary Club has launched the Essential Products Initiative, in partnership with the Hope Church Pantry at the Meeting Place. Its goal and mission is to help meet a continuing demand by people in need of essential personal care products, such as diapers, wipes, feminine hygiene products and adult incontinence products. These necessities are less available to food pantries than the variety of food products commonly supplied by area food banks.
 
According to Erica DePalma, Director of the Hope Church Food Pantry at the Meeting Place, the number of people that The Pantry is serving has exploded in the last 18 months.  In September alone the Pantry delivered food to over 440 families. Of those families, greater than 80 percent need and ask for essential personal care products.  The Pantry cannot meet that need with the funds and donations available.
 
Making these products available to families in need is not just a matter of quality of life. It also promotes family stability. The Camden County Prosecutor uncovered a close link between a lack of diapers and domestic abuse.
 
These products are available in only limited quantities from area food banks. The Pantry and the Rotary Club are working to expand sources of supply, and grants and donations to support this necessary initiative.
 
The Hope Church Pantry has been in existence for 12 years and has grown from a closet in the church to a stand-alone building on the church property in Voorhees, at the corner of Cooper Road and Centennial Blvd. The Pantry serves low-income people regardless of race, gender or religious affiliation in Voorhees and the surrounding areas.
 
The Voorhees Breakfast Rotary Club has been an active presence in Voorhees since 2005 and has been recognized locally, regionally and by Rotary International for its efforts, engagement and commitment to helping others.  VBRC volunteers help pack and distribute items from The
Pantry and engage in a lot of other projects. Through volunteerism, donations and grants, we hope to support this project and others to improve the quality of life for those in need.

Finding Safe Haven

For years, Angalia Bianca had slept in abandoned buildings throughout Chicago. She stole. She did drugs. She spent time in and out of jail for forgery, theft, trespassing, and possession of narcotics. But after she landed in prison for the seventh time, something changed -- Bianca knew she wanted a better life. She just didn’t know how to make it happen.
 
After serving her time, Bianca sought help from a local homeless organization, A Safe Haven, and moved to its shelter in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Bianca followed the program closely -- she attended all the required meetings, passed drug tests, and volunteered at every opportunity.
