Rotary Club of Thomasville made a BIG IMPACT on their local community at their “FRESH FOR YOU - Free Produce Market” in partnership with Second Harvest of South Georgia and Marguerite Neel Williams Boys & Girls Clubs on Saturday, July 22nd. The club’s efforts served a total of 253 households in the Thomasville-Thomas County community alone that day!
In
2021, during the club’s 100th year, the club embarked on a
mission to discover the most critical needs in the Thomasville-Thomas County
community. The results showed that diabetes, heart issues, and other health
concerns affected a higher percentage of the residents compared to other parts
of the country. But they didn't stop there! Rotary Club of Thomasville saw an
opportunity to make a lasting impact on the quality of life for their neighbors
by addressing this issue head-on.
The club’s initiative to provide fresh, healthy foods to the underserved
community members has been incredibly successful. Each month, their "Fresh
For You - Free Produce Market" offers a diverse selection of nutritious
fruits, vegetables, proteins, and other healthy goodies
Join
Rotary Club of Thomasville and members of Thomasville-Thomas County in
celebrating the power of community and the joy of giving back. Together, this
club and their community are building a healthier, happier future for Thomasville
and Thomas County, one fresh produce at a time!
