ROTARY PARTNERS WITH POLICE AND COMMUNITY CENTER AND FEEDING WESTCHESTER TO
DISTRIBUTE PANDEMIC RELIEF TO GREENBURGH SENIORS
The Hartsdale Greenburgh Rotary has joined with the Friends of the Theodore
D. Young Community Center, Feeding Westchester and the Greenburgh Police
Department to sponsor a distribution of health, wellness and hygiene
essentials, as well as perishable food, to homebound seniors living in
Greenburgh.
On Thursday, May 28, members of the Rotary joined volunteers at the
Community Center to pack bags and boxes, load them into cars and deliver
them to households in the area. This is part of an ongoing effort at the
Community Center to distribute food to the community on a weekly basis,
which the Rotary has joined as a partner.
The contribution from the Rotary ’will go a long way to enhancing the lives
of our homebound seniors during this pandemic,’ according to David Zenon, PO
of the Greenburgh Police Department.
