We collaborate with our local police department and town residents to collect food, then drive the cruiser stuffed with donations to a local food pantry.

In early May, the BV Rotary, along with kids at the Rockdale Youth Center and community volunteers, planted four native pollinator gardens. They turned the ground and added compost, used string to create grids, laid out the plants, and then the kids, volunteers, and Rotarians started digging. Two raised beds were also put together.
The plants are thriving (thank you, rain!) and the kids have been watering and weeding, with club members stopping by to lend a hand as needed. These gardens will be a beautiful addition to a neighborhood sorely lacking in green space.
