Constructing a New Entrance
at Bread for Life!

Thanks to funding from the Rotary District Grant and the Gloucester Rotary Club, we are constructing a new client entrance at the Bread for Life Food Pantry! Thank you to Gary Hermanson, Lester Sterling, Jim Raposa, Henry Moncure, Jay McGlohn, and Steve Humphrey for their hard work on the build!

A long-time Rotary partner, Bread for Life has provided food for Gloucester households since 2009. The pantry is open Mondays (11AM–2PM) and Wednesdays (1PM–4:30PM) and offers a wide variety of wholesome foods. Anyone facing food insecurity is welcome, and there is no screen process.

Commemorating the Ellis Hall and Bob Marble Memorial Garden

On October 25th, community and Rotary members alike gathered in front of Edgehill Town Center on Main Street to commemorate the Ellis Hall and Bob Marble Memorial Garden. Ellis and Bob were founding members of Gloucester Rotary and remained in dedicated service to the club and the county until their passing. We are grateful for their work and are proud to memorialize them with this beautiful community space. We also extend our gratitude to Ike's Landscape and Pest Management for designing and upkeeping the garden.
