On December 4th, Ruthie Abelson Olivas and Shawn Dunning presented a check to Kelli Barram, Plant to Plate, to fund interns’ stipends, helping them to build their resumes and open doors for further employment opportunities.

The Plant to Plate Internship Program mentors, empowers, and prepares high school students to enhance their skills and advance their employment opportunities through training in organic gardening and the culinary arts.

They provide an integrated experience that builds job and life skills, fosters resilience, and fosters meaningful engagement in the fight against climate change.

Rotarians at work!

On Wednesday, November 20,  Richmond Rotarians Rolanda Wilson and Don Lau volunteered at the Community Village Holiday Feast Food Pantry which provided turkeys and other food for mostly seniors in need in the community. Richmond Rotary provided funding and was listed as one of their sponsors. We are thankful that we could provide support for their program. Happy Thanksgiving all!
