Food Security for Richmond Families
Steveston Rotary and Save On Foods working together for our community!
Richard Morgadinho, manager of the Save-On-Foods Terra Nova store, is shown receiving two awards presented recently by the Rotary Club of Steveston. His store has partnered with the club to provide 700 food hampers since last July to 35 Richmond families in need due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Richard is holding the plaque that recognizes the company and the store staff for their tremendous cooperation and support in the on-going preparation and delivery of the hampers. The framed certificate being presented by club member Lee Bennett is a special Rotary “Paul Harris Award” presented to Richard himself for his inspirational commitment and leadership. This prestigious award is named after the founder of Rotary, and is only given to non-Rotarians in special circumstances.
School District #38 (Richmond) also partnered in the coordination of the program, with major funding provided by the Federal Government ECSF program through the United Way of the Lower Mainland. Additional local financial support was provided by the G&F Financial Group, Coast Capital Savings and Rotary District 5040.
Steveston Rotary Supports RCRG!
Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives is a registered charity based in Richmond, BC. They have been part of the community for over 40 years. Their core mission is to encourage and facilitate local philanthropy – both volunteerism and monetary donations. They work every day to ensure that Richmond’s charitable sector has the resources it needs to make a meaningful impact in the community.
In 2020, the Rotary Club of Steveston is donating a new vehicle to RCRG to enable them to continue to do the amazing things they do in our shared community. Good people working together to make a difference!
