Members of the Rotary Club, along with members of the InterAct Clubs from Robert Morgan High School and Cutler Bay Academy, packaged and distributed Thanksgiving Week food for 130 families in need in West Perrine.
The Rotary Club has been providing the Thanksgiving Week ood distribution for over 15 years. The food provided includes a turkey and all of the food for a Thanksgiving meal and additional food for a week for these families.
“Our club members enjoy providing the food to those in need every year,” said Todd Lary, president of The Rotary Club of Perrine-Cutler Ridge/Palmetto Bay. “And teaming up for this annual event with the members of the local InterAct Clubs that we sponsor is a bonus.”
Tayloe Perry, past-president of the club and chair of the Rotary Club Thanksgiving Food Week distribution, said, “Providing for those in need in our community is what we do. Our club members look forward to this day every year.
Regine Joly, one of the newest club members, added, “Events like this — giving back to our community — is why I joined Rotary.”
