Help Support Veterans with Food or Donations at Fairfield’s Memorial Day Parade

Fairfield, CT - For the 15th consecutive year, during the Memorial Day Parade in Fairfield on Monday, May 25th, the Rotary Club will be collecting non-perishable food/canned goods and money (cash, credit card or checks made out to “Homes for the Brave”) along the parade route to donate and support local Veterans.

Local Veterans will be riding in the parade and helping collect. Marchers will also walk along the parade route collecting items including canned goods, coffee, powder creamers, twin sized sheets, towels and any toiletries.

The Club is honored to help support veteran causes including Homes for the Brave, which is the primary recipient. A non-profit in Bridgeport, CT, its mission is to help homeless veterans with housing and services necessary to help them return to productive and meaningful life. On any given night in the United States, there are approximately 40,000 Veterans experiencing homelessness.

The Fairfield Rotary Club has a long legacy of supporting our community. “Service above Self” is more than a motto, it is the Club’s core value that drives all its efforts. Since 1990, the club has provided over $450,000 in community grants and donations to local non-profits and continues to support local area high school seniors with scholarships. Internationally, the Fairfield Rotary co-sponsored grants to support six international service projects in Haiti, Uganda, Syria, Liberia and Guatemala.

The Club is looking for new members who want to make a difference in their community and have fun doing it. To find out more about the Fairfield Rotary Club, visit www.FairfieldRotary.org.

Last week nine area clubs gathered for the annual Norman K. Parcells fellowship luncheon, held in memory of a dedicated Rotary, who devoted his life to service to both his community and his nation.

The honorees at this event have exhibited Rotary's motto of 'service above self'. Fairfield Rotary recognized Patricia (Pat) Matteson for her service. From leading our Annual Grants process, the club's work with Habitat for Humanity of Coastal Fairfield County, to various Board positions, Pat has been what Rotary is all about. Thank you and congratulations Pat!
