The Rotary Club of McHenry Charitable Foundation, Inc (a Section 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization) presented a $1,750 check to Friends in Service Here or FISH. These funds arose from two sources through the Club's Foundation. A sum of $750 arose from the Rotary Club of McHenry Charitable Foundation Chuck & Lois Peterson Endowment, which was established in 2012 by Chuck & Lois Peterson. An additional $1,000 came directly from the Rotary Club of McHenry Charitable Foundation, which represent primarily proceeds from it fundraiser Blues, Brews & BBQ.
"Friends in Service Here" (FISH of McHenry – Food Pantry) makes food available to those who need it. FISH has no paid employees; rather, everyone at FISH is a volunteer, even its directors. For every $1 donated to FISH, FISH is able to procure approximately $8 of food for distribution through its food pantry. Click here for the most recent FISH newsletter.
