Following a plea by our very own District Governor Michelle Charles for aid for those displaced by the derailment in East Palestine, a van load of food, diapers, hygiene supplies, stuffed animals and other goodies was driven from Wooster by Wooster Rotarian Joe Szeker (also Director of Operations at People to People Ministries in Wayne County) to the parking lot at the Eric Snow YMCA in downtown Canton (thanks Canton Rotarian Rich Micelli and staff). There a certain Canton Rotarian met Joe and transferred all of the stuff to his Honda CR-V (thing holds quite a lot, really!)
From there, the goods went on a road trip to St. Jude Catholic Church Activity Center, where it was once again transferred to another vehicle, driven over by a couple from East Palestine, to be given to some of the agencies that were providing aid to those displaced by the train derailment last week.
Canton Rotary is proud to support this effort to help our fellow Ohioans in a time of crisis.
(Editor's note: that certain Canton Rotarian SUCKS at taking selfies!)
