Capital City has just received a check for $4080 for the Concord Fire and Police Departments to purchase decontaminating foggers and supplies for its ambulances and other emergency vehicles as part of our Rotary District's Covid-19 grants. Additionally, the Concord Friendly Kitchen has received a $1700 credit from our donation to the New Hampshire Food Bank as a part of our district’s nearly $73,000 donation.
Thirty-four clubs in Southern NH and VT participated, donating almost $114,000. With the Foundation's matching, the three grants totaled almost $341,000 for PPE; specialized equipment and supplies for first responders; donations to the VT and NH Food Banks in the name of local food pantries and shelves, and other charitable organizations affecting more than a million beneficiaries in New Hampshire and Vermont.
We, as Rotarians have reason to feel proud about supporting our communities!
