Rotarians are dedicated to meeting the real, everyday needs of our community. While scholarships are vital, current economic realities mean basic needs like food security require urgent, hands-on support. Food insecurity is a quiet challenge that affects every community—big or small—and we are committed to making a direct impact where it matters most.Rotary Club President Aviv Hod (L) and Rotarian Linda Sullivan (R), a longtime champion for local elder care and food security, recently met with Marcy Schwam (C), the new leader of the Marblehead Food Pantry. Marcy has stepped in following the retirement of founder Janet Parker, who gave decades of extraordinary service to our town since 1991. To support their daily operations, the Rotary Club was delighted to check off two practical items on the pantry’s wish list: a refrigerator to safely store fresh produce and eggs, and a large wagon to transport supplies at Masonic Hall. We are incredibly grateful for the vital work Marcy and her volunteers do every day, and proud to partner with the Marblehead Food Pantry to ensure no neighbor goes unsupported!
