Cashin Mortgages is a sponsor of the Rotary Brunch in support of Food4Kids
Cashin Mortgages is a proud sponsor or the first Rotary Brunch (2017) in support of Food4Kids a project initiated by the Rotary Club of Waterdown. The Rotary Brunch was the conceptualized by Michael Collette, Darryl Kirkland, Ryan Bridge and Mark Cashin in an effort to create awareness of the need that exists in the community and partner with Food4Kids to help overcome the challenges some families face every week.
Together with the cooperation or the Waterdown BIA, Waterdown Farmers Market,Waterdown Legion, and other generous sponsors the goal was to include local businesses and encourage people to “Shop and Dine ” local. This combined effort and with the help of Grace Food Bank resulted 17 families / students from Mary Hopkins Elementary School in Waterdown being sponsored.
The Rotary Brunch has a unique concept when it comes to charging the public to attend. The cost to attend is by voluntary donation, the Rotary committee realized early they needed to include everyone in the community and not everyone can afford a set price. The event raised $10 000.00 at the door donation and by sponsorships in 2017. The cost to sponsor a family is only $520.00 per year.
The work does not end with just the brunch you will find dedicated Rotary volunteers shopping every Wednesday at local grocery stores to ensure the families have fresh food every week.
The Rotary Club of Waterdown has set a goal of adding an additional school in 2018. Learn more about the Food4Kids program Click HERE
