Cantonment Rotary Provides Thanksgiving Meals For Nearly 1,000 People

November 22, 2018

Nearly 1,000 people can enjoy a complete Thanksgiving meal thanks to the Cantonment Rotary Club.

Wednesday the club distributed everything for a turkey meal to 168 families — about 950 people in the North Escambia area, including Quintette and Carver Park. The recipients were chosen with the help of local school guidance counselors who helped identify families that might need a little help this time of year.

“We would never have been able to impact the number of families and especially the number of young people without the enthusiastic support of the administrations and guidance counselors of our seven partner schools – Lipscomb Elementary, McArthur Elementary, Pine Meadow Elementary, Jim Allen Elementary, Kingsfield Elementary, Ransom Middle, and Tate High. We truly appreciate how their partnership allows us to make our community a better place to live,” said Kevin Howell, Cantonment Rotary Thanksgiving project chair.

The Cantonment Rotary Club Thanksgiving project continues to grow. Last year, the club delivered meals to 545 people.
