The Jefferson Rotary Club on Monday presented a check in the amount of $10,299 to the Greene County Christian Action Resource Center (ARC) represented by Shirley Haupert.
The check was distributed as the result of “fund-a-need” donations for this purpose made by generous donors at the club’s 21st annual charity auction held in November.
Haupert noted that cash donations help the ARC food pantry purchase fresh meat, hygiene products, and other items to round out their offerings to a growing number of families accessing the service. This larger donation will go toward finishing work on the ARC’s new location on N. Vine St in Jefferson.
“The Jefferson Rotary club is a group of service-minded individuals who want to make a positive and lasting impact on the community area and in the world,” stated former district governor and past Jefferson Rotary president Jacque Andrew. The annual auction has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to support services, clubs, and activities in Jefferson and Greene County.
