We would like to congratulate the four recently anointed recipients of the ROTARY’s Paul Harris Fellow Award at the virtual Paul Harris Fellow Awards Ceremony hosted by the Rotary Club of Burlington Central, Rotary Burlington North, Rotary Burlington Lakeshore and Rotary Club of Burlington. It’s an honour to be chosen for this Award and the recipients are very deserving. Three of them are close to us at the Food Bank. David Vandenberg has been very supportive of the Food Bank, Compassion Society and especially now with Wellington Square. Mary Dilly has worked with us for years running her Christmas Program and Dinner. She was able to pivot this year and join together with Wellington to provide these dinners to so many in Burlington that were struggling with the lock-down. Beth Martin has helped us out with fresh produce through the Burlington Together Grow a Row program. Right now they are distributing free seeds to anyone hoping to participate in this Spring’s growing season.

The ROTARY is simply one of if not the best charity in Burlington to get involved with. So many amazing people that contribute to our community every year. The great people they are honouring this year for the Award are just as caring and hard working as Rotary members are.
