Rotary Club of Fonthill Partnering with E.L. Crossley Interact Club supports Pelham Cares Food Drive - Registration is Now Open
The Rotary Club of Fonthill is pleased to announce that they will be partnering with E.L. Crossley’s Interact Club to support their Holiday Food Drive. In previous years, the Crossley Interact Club has implemented “Christmas Cheer”, an initiative to support over 30 families in need and provide them with gifts and food to brighten their holiday season. This year, with the COVID pandemic, the Interact Club has had to rethink how Crossley students can continue to support their community in a safe and healthy way.
