Rotary Club Organizes Emergency Food Drop For CFA

In a program spearheaded by Rotarian Brian Durkin, the Bergen Highlands-Ramsey Rotary Club recently organized an emergency food collection for the Center for Food Action.

The Center’s shelves are in great need of supplies, as recent economic difficulties have greatly increased the number of people who rely on CFA for help.

The Bergen Highlands-Ramsey Rotary Club has been supporting educational and charitable needs in Allendale, Mahwah, Ramsey, Saddle River and Upper Saddle River since 1952. The Club provides college scholarships for local students and funding for local causes such as The Center for Food Action. Members run the children's rides at Ramsey Day and Mahwah Day, with proceeds going toward the Club's charitable activities. As part of Rotary International, the Club also raises funds to support educational, medical and sanitary facilities in Nicaragua , India and Haiti.  

Rotary International is a worldwide organization of more than 1.2 million business, professional, and community leaders who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.  

The Bergen Highlands-Ramsey Rotary Club holds its weekly meetings on Mondays at 12:15pm at Houlihan’s in Ramsey.
