Once again, the Rotary Clubs of Kingston brought a little holiday cheer to thousands of children. Our annual book distribution occurred between Nov. 23, 2021 and Nov. 25, 2021, thanks to our volunteers and partners. It was an overwhelming success.

Over the past month, we have been harvesting corn and potatoes from the Robinson Community Garden,
selling tickets for the virtual event and seeking donations to the United Way for the new Community Food
On Sunday September 12th, the Rotary clubs of Kingston assisted by Lionhearts and the Robinson Community Garden will he holding a Pig Roast in an effort to provide meals to 750 food insecure people at the four Lionhearts locations. The cost of the meal purchased for someone else is $20. Funds raised will go to the United Way for purchase of equipment for the new Community Food Redistribution Warehouse.
