Ripon Rotary Club Weekly News

Community committee chair Chris reports on the background to the donation of £600 from District for the Ripon Salvation Army Foodbank.

'District informed the Club there was about £2,000 of funding available for area hospices and foodbanks with the only proviso that each club would have to nominate and make a case for their cause. Only the top three cases would receive part of these funds.

Colin Green and Neville joined me in drafting a case for Council at a recent Zoom Virtual meeting. Additional input came from David Baxter and the document was submitted. I am delighted to report that we were successful This will go some way to replacing monthly donations that we have made to the Foodbank over several years.
