Description

NATICK, MA — The Charles River Rotary Club recently made a $5,000 donation to the Natick Service Council, which will help provide meals to local families for Thanksgiving. The Natick Service Council is trying to raise $100,000 before Nov. 15 for its Thanksgiving and Christmas programs. That amount will raise enough to provide about 600 families with gift cards for food and gifts during the holiday season. (The council is only providing gift cards in 2021 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.) The Charles River Rotary Club serves Natick, Ashland and Framingham. The club "connects, engages, and collaborates with the community to support Natick neighbors who are experiencing hardship or economic uncertainty by promoting self-sufficiency." The rotary's programs include scholarships for Keefe Tech continuing education programs, childhood literacy and supporting special needs organizations.
