The Rotary Club of Southborough partnered with St. Mark’s School to hold two FREE winter ice skating events at the Gardner ice rink. The first free skate was held on Jan. 11, 2026, with over 60 people attending & the second on Feb. 22, 2026. The primary goal was to build stronger community connections with a fun family activity.  But participants were also encouraged to help combat local food insecurity by bringing non-perishable food donations to the rink. The club delivered two large bins of collected food items and just over $287 in cash donations to the Southborough Food Pantry.
