November 23, 2024 members from Burton-Middlefield Rotary and Berkshire High School Interact club gathered at Peace Lutheran Church to package 17 Thanksgiving meals that were distributed throughout Geauga County. The meals included Thanksgiving staples such as turkey, stuffing, and various side dishes. Burton-Middlefield Rotarians Jeff, Bob, Brian & Mike delivered the meals to local families facing food insecurity.

“This partnership embodies the essence of service above self,” said Rotary Club member Mike Valentino.  “We are excited to work alongside the young leaders of the Interact Club, who bring enthusiasm and creativity to our community efforts. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who are in need.”

This was the first project from the newly formed Interact club and Burton-Middlefield Rotary club.  The next Interact project for December is the adoption a family for Christmas from Geauga Job & Family Services.
