On Wednesday, November 11, the CSH Rotary Club received a supply of 4,000 medical face masks for distribution to local first responders and essential workers. So far the Club has delivered more than 2,000 masks to first responders and essential workers at Charlotte Fire and Rescue, Shelburne Fire and Rescue, Shelburne Police Department, Hinesburg Police Department, Hinesburg Fire and Emergency Response, and the Shelburne Food Shelf.

We are continuing to distribute masks to schools and other the front line essential workers in the three towns served by our Club.
Here is how the face masks came to our Rotary Club...
Ted Rossi, a member of the East Hampton, CT Rotary Club and a director of the Rossi Family Foundation, is working to distribute 1 Million medical grade face masks to front line workers and first responders in New England. Our Rotary District 7850 and District 7870 received 200,000 face masks from this program to distribute among 60 Rotary Clubs in VT and NH.
We are pleased to help with this program and to support the people who keep us safe, answer 911 calls, teach our children, prepare meals in the schools, and deliver food. Stay safe everyone!
