We were thrilled to make a recent donation to St Susan Center to support their effort to provide food to people in need.

For two years in a row, our club has sponsored the effort by the Waterfront Foundation to provide free backpacks, school supplies and books to children in need. The books are given to pediatric patients to help make doctor appointments more enjoyable and supplements the lack of reading materials at home. The donation will provide about 200 backpacks and six months' worth of books in both Spanish and English.
