The long-running organiza- tion, founded in 1984 by 82-year- old Mary McAnena, is dedicated to feeding the homeless, and giv- ing them personal attention that they do not otherwise have. Rotarians, including President Dan Gray, Community Service Chair Vito Canuso, Dale Dagley, Don Ware and Greg Mills, were on hand for the presentation of kitchen equipment valued at $3,800. Gloria Suess, CEO of Mary’s Kitchen, expressed her gratitude for the full-size ice ma- chine, pressure cooker, several transport carts, large stock pots, and a heavy-duty disinfectant sprayer. Mary’s Kitchen relies upon food and monetary donations and volunteers to prepare and distrib- ute breakfast and a hot lunch six days, Monday through Saturday, of every week. Showers and laun- dry facilities, plus clothing, may also be made available. COVID has made it more difficult for the preparation and distribution of food because of the limits as to who can volunteer. Folks who are older and/or more vulnerable to COVID may not currently volunteer. To volun- teer or donate, see maryskitchen. com.
