Bristol Rotary Club has received urgent requests from both the East Bay Food Pantry and the Friends of St. Elizabeth's Food Pantry. Due to the continued government shutdown and the suspension/reduction of SNAP benefits, both organizations are experiencing a critical shortage of food supplies.
On Tuesday, Friends of St. Elizabeth's Food Pantry saw an unusually high number of clients, to the point that they ran out of essentials such as bread, milk, cheese and eggs.
To help address this immediate need, Bristol Rotary donated funds to both organizations and setup a web page where anyone can donate with a credit card. All funds will be split evenly between to two local food banks. We made this web page for our members to participate, and now, we make it available to anyone who wishes to meet this critical need. This will a tax deductible donation.
If you would like to join our donations to the food pantries, you can go directly to the donation page by clicking on this link:
bristolrotaryclub.com/foodpantries
After you click on the donate link, there will be a "Leave Note..." box on the left. Write "Food Pantry" in the Leave Note... box. Then click on the right, in the box that says "Debit or Credit Cards" and make your donation.
If you prefer to write a check, send it to Maria Cesario at Bristol Rotary’s Charities Foundation, P.O. Box 469, Bristol RI, 02809.
This is a critical time and Bristol Rotary is trying its best to help. Remember, all donations through Bristol Rotary’s Charities Foundation (a 501(c)(3) are tax deductible. You will get a receipt for tax purposes.
