The Network (The Network Against Domestic Abuse) was the recent recipient of donations from the Rotary Club of Enfield. The Rotary Club of Enfield was awarded a Rotary District 7890 grant to assist The Network. The Enfield Club’s donation of $1,205 was matched by the district with another $1,205!


While Rotary has seven areas of focus, this donation benefits maternal and child health. The club was able to purchase 32 comforter/sheet sets, 8 sets of cookware which each include pots, pans and utensils, as well as 8 sets of bath towels. Many of these items will be put to use in Julie’s Safe House, while some will be provided to families as they move out of shelter and into their own homes.


A new dryer was also purchased thanks to the joint efforts of the Rotary Club of Enfield and P.C. Richards and Son.
