Interact Club's
successful food drive
PUTNAM — Nov. 15 was a beautiful sunny day for the Putnam Rotary Club’s Interact Club to have a food drive — they raised $761 and filled a truck with nonperishable foods.
Janet Young from the American Legion Post #13 Ladies Auxiliary, joined forces with the Interact members.
Interact advisor Roberta Rocchetti said she appreciated WINY Radio for allowing the Interact Club to have their food drive in their parking lot.
The proceeds will be shared with the Daily Bread and TEEG food pantries.
Rocchetti thanked Paige Perry, Alyssa Daniels, Billie Lewis, Estela Freitas and Janet Young for their participation.
Busy club — Interact members and their friends will be ringing the bells for the local Salvation Army office located in Putnam. They will be ringing bells from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 28 and 29 and Dec. 6, 13 and 20 at Putnam Walmart, Putnam Stop & Shop, Putnam Price Chopper and Putnam Supermarket. She added that there is a QR code on the kettle signs that will allow donations to be made. Rocchetti said that 90 percent of what is received in the kettles stays in Putnam to be used in the northeastern corner.
