Many thanks to our Rotarians who spent time on the Riverwalk Clean Up!


We are so thankful for your grant of $1000 towards the purchase of our new stove. We also received $1000 from another grant. The price of the stove was $2000! Exactly what we had for funds. Please see the picture of it ready to be installed in the Palmyra Baptist Worship Center Soup Kitchen. It is the perfect size and just what we needed! Again, thank you so much for your support!
Sincerely, Sharon Kimball (for Palmyra Baptist Soup Kitchen)
