The Rotary Club of Brick Township Helps during COVID-19 Crisis

The Rotary Club of Brick Township-Luncheon club donated $5,000 to help feed the COVID impacted residents of Brick Township while supporting local COVID impacted businesses.

Members of the Rotary Club presented Seeds of Service (SOS), a non-profit organization serving over 650 families during this COVID-19 crisis, with two different donations. First, the Rotary club donated $1,000 for bulk food purchases. Second, the club purchased $4,000 in gift cards from 10 local food venues which have also been negatively impacted by the COVID shutdown. The bulk food items and the gift cards will be distributed by Seeds of Service.

The $1,000 check was used to purchase bulk food from SYSCO Food Services. These products will be repackaged by the volunteers from Seeds of Service then placed into grocery carts to the fill orders requested by local families. Volunteers from the Knights of Columbus and the Holy Name Society deliver the grocery orders to the families. Additionally, The Rotary Club of Brick purchased $400 worth of gift cards in $25 denominations from each of the following local venues: Mulberry Street Italian Food Center, Bubbakoos Burritos, Brick, Beacon 70, Jack & Mike’s Bar & Grille, Joe’s Bagel & Grill - Brick, Atlanta Bread Bakery Café, Brick, Mantoloking Road Alehouse, Taylor Sam’s, La Fontana Ristorante and Oakwood Point Pizza. Many of these venues also graciously donated additional gift cards to support this cause.

The project team includes Diane Rotondelli, Joyce Van Haeren, Gail Dempsey and was headed by Jody Huss, Rotary Club of Brick Township-Luncheon. Supported by Christie Winters and her team at Seeds of Service who will oversee the distribution of the food and gift cards.
