The Rotary Club of East Montgomery County recently held a heartwarming meeting, using their time together to pack 196 breakfast bags for local seniors and other homebound individuals. These bags, which are included in Meals on Wheels deliveries, ensure that seniors have a nutritious start to their weekends. This thoughtful initiative is more than just providing food; it’s a gesture of care and community support.
In a heartwarming collaboration, workers from the New Horizons Day Program added a unique touch to the bags. New Horizons, an organization committed to providing training and employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities, brought their creativity to the table, making each bag a special, personalized gift. This added layer of meaning made the initiative even more impactful for the recipients.
“Among all the service projects we undertake, this one holds a special place in my heart,” shared Deitra Johnson. “We not only have a great time packing the bags, but we also know it's for a good cause,” she added. Johnson’s sentiment resonates with many in the club, who find immense joy and fulfillment in these acts of service.
The Rotary Club of East Montgomery County is known for its dedication to community service, and the breakfast bags initiative is a shining example of their ongoing efforts to support and uplift their neighbors. By providing these meals, the club not only addresses a basic need but also fosters a sense of connection and compassion within the community.
Through its partnership with New Horizons, the Rotary Club demonstrates the power of collaboration and inclusivity, showing that when people come together for a common cause, the impact can be profound and far-reaching.
