Rotarians in Action: Service and Connections at Lazarus House
Our members continue to make a hands-on difference in the community! Last Wednesday, Rotarians Jim Greeley and Al Timm volunteered their morning at the Lazarus House Ministries Food Pantry, assisting with their vital food distribution efforts.
The spirit of Rotary is all about connection, and Al beautifully demonstrated this by inviting his neighbor, Mike Wartman, to join the team as a friend of Rotary. Together, the trio helped serve an incredible 1,983 people who came through the line to receive essential groceries.
Beyond the numbers, the day was filled with powerful moments of connection. A fellow volunteer shared a deeply moving story with Mike, explaining that Lazarus House had taken him in when he was experiencing homelessness. Today, he returns regularly to give back. It was a beautiful, firsthand reminder of how the kindness we support comes full circle.
A huge thank you to Jim, Al, and Mike for giving their time, and to Lazarus House Ministries for their tireless, life-changing work in our community.
