The New Brunswick Rotary Club Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) and all donations are tax deductible. We are asking Rotarians, friends and other organizations to help join us as we provide much needed support for New Brunswick's Health Care Heroes, local restaurants and local food pantries. New Brunswick Rotary Club members have been collecting donations dating back to the Covid 19 outbreak in early March.  We are helping to purchase ventilators, pay restaurants to serve meals at hospitals, making masks and collecting food for the local food pantries.  Please donate and or help with any of our Covid 19 projects.  Thank you. 

Special Thanks to our Members and Donors that helped to support the Helping Heroes Program 
The Rotary club has been accepting donations online at https://newbrunswickrotary.org to help purchase food from local restaurants each week since the pandemic began to fee health care heroes and first responders.   Together, we were able to purchase more than 1,000 meals from local restarurants and feed both major hospital staffs and all of the local Police, Fire and EMT's  This project not only helped to feed our heroes on the front lines, it also helped local restaurants generate business and survive this economic challenge.  For more info or to pledge your support, please email mgbwell1@gmail.com or pstefanek@newbrunswick.com  Mike Blackwell can be reached at (732) 259-4297.    
 
Mask Makers and Bar Soap Donations: Both hospitals in New Brunswick lacked personal protective equipment for the fight against Covid19.  Rotarians Darleen Crowley and Barbara Blackwell went to work and began sewing masks and delivered more than 100 masks to the hospitals.  Many of the local Rotarisns also donated bars of soap to the hospitals to be given out as Covid patients left the hospital.  
 
New Brunswick Food Pantry Support: Many of our local food pantries are very short of supplies and need help.  Our club helped to support three local food pantries during the pandemic: Elijah’s Promise, the Rutgers Student Food Pantry and the Salvation Army.
