Under the leadership of Charitable Grants Chair Richard Householder, the food basket project is an annual tradition in which the Club organizes turkeys and groceries that families in need can use to prepare Christmas meals. All recipient names are kept confidential to maintain the families’ privacy.

The Camden Rotary Club, part of Rotary’s global network of 1.2 million volunteers, brings together business, professional and community leaders to help others through philanthropy, active engagement in community life, and hands-on service projects.
