Linda Sullivan leads the charge for our August Food Drive, making sure our local Food Pantry shelves stay stocked.
Every August, Marblehead Rotary directs its energy toward a pressing local challenge: summer food insecurity. With school meal programs on pause and living costs high, many local families face extra strain, leaving community food pantries working overtime to keep up with demand.
 
To support our neighbors, Marblehead Rotarians have committed the month to a targeted Food Pantry Drive. Spearheaded annually by Rotarian Linda Sullivan, club members—including volunteers Alison Richards, and Peter Speziale—are out in the community purchasing and delivering high-need groceries and household essentials.
 
Working side-by-side with Marblehead Food Pantry, our team is making sure the pantry floor stays stocked with the specific items families need most right now. It’s a proud hands-on effort and a great example of Service Above Self making a direct, local impact.
