The Rotary Club of Georgetown Central and the Rotaract Club of Georgetown Central collaborated just over a week ago to provide over 100 families in Plastic City, Vreed-en-Hoop, with food hampers for the Christmas season.

Members and volunteers set out early on the morning of Saturday, December 14th, to give out hampers full of essential food stuff, such as rice, flour, oil and a variety of canned and dry foods, to residents. Some 450 are estimated to have benefitted from the donation.

The Vreed-en-Hoop Community High School served as the distribution centre, where persons could be seen waiting in an orderly fashion with their tickets, which they received earlier in the morning from the Clubs. A representative from each household was given a hamper full of the food stuff.
