Wilton Rotary Club Donations Encourages Others to Buy Local

WILTON — During the Holiday week, Wilton Rotary Club President Robert Lounsbury presented Krystle Nowhitney Hernandez, Deputy Director of the Saratoga County Economic Opportunity Council (SCEOC), Peter Maynard, Director of The Wilton Food Pantry and Dee Whitten, Member of the Board of Directors of the Schuylerville Area Food and Emergency Relief (S.A.F.E.R.) with assorted gift cards with a combined value of $3,000 for their organizations.  Each gift card has a value of $50 and will be utilized for those of need in our local communities.   

 In an effort to help save our local businesses and encourage others to buy local, the Wilton Rotary Club purchased gift cards from the following local businesses: Hewitt’s Garden Center, KIng’s Dairy, Quality Hardware, Primal – Your Local Butcher, and Benson’s Pet Center.  The Club then donated these gift cards to SCEOC, The Wilton Food Pantry and S.A.F.E.R. to share with our neighbors in need during this holiday season.
