News & Events

May is our annual Fill The Truck For The Food Shelf month, and once again, the Colchester Milton Rotary will be collecting donations to support the Colchester, Milton, and Champlain Islands food shelves.

Since launching this effort in 2012, our community has stepped up in a big way, donating over 14,000 pounds of food and more than $36,000 to help neighbors facing food insecurity.

Throughout May, we’ll be asking for non-perishable food items and monetary donations. So as you’re doing your weekly shopping, consider grabbing a little extra. It doesn’t take much to make a real difference—unless it’s a 50-pound bag of rice, in which case… We’ll happily take that too.

Stay tuned for drop-off details and ways to contribute.

The Colchester-Milton Rotary Club is pleased to welcome Noah Ranallo, a Vermont native and pilot with Beta Technologies, as our guest speaker on Thursday, March 19th. 

If you would like to order lunch, please arrive by 11:30. The Meeting officially starts at noon.
Location:
McGillicuddy's On The Green
