The Rotary Club of Kingston increased the number of community outreach projects it executed during the past administrative year, amid COVID-19.
Among the major projects completed between July 2020 and April 2021 were the donation of life-saving equipment valued at $21 million to the Bustamante Hospital for Children; provision of homes and food for the homeless; water tanks to an early childhood institution, gallons of sanitising and hygiene products to a golden age home.
In March this year, the club handed over the keys to a two-bedroom, one-bathroom house, with kitchen, small porch, water and septic tanks, solar lights in Salisbury Park to Margaret Ritchie, daughter and grandchildren who were homeless. The donation was made in partnership with the Rotary Club of White Bear Lake Minnesota, US and Food for the Poor.
