HELPING TO FEED THE HOMELESS
On Saturday, December 21, 2013, the Rockaway Rotary Club will assist in feeding the homeless at Homeless Solutions, 540 West Hanover Ave., Morristown, NJ. This project will start at 3:00 PM and continue until around 7:00 PM. We will be preparing dinner for roughly 60-75 people. All food will be purchased, prepared and served by Rockaway Rotarians. The planned menu is pork roast, mac ‘n cheese, veggies, biscuits and dessert. A vegetarian alternative will be ravioli pie. We need a maximum of 6 volunteers since the kitchen is small. If interested in helping with this project,
please contact PE Janice.
HOLIDAY FOOD DRIVE
This past Saturday, members of the Rockaway Rotary Club braved the cool weather to collect non-perishable food items and monetary donations for the Rockaway Food Closet
during Rockaway Borough Schools’ “Winter Wonderland” at Thomas Jefferson School.
