💛 Food is love!
Thanks to the Rotary Club of Oakland’s Feed the Hungry program, St. Mary’s Center served over 22,000 nourishing meals to acutely low-income seniors last year.
Wil Hobbs delivered this year’s support check, continuing a legacy of compassion and partnership. We’re honored to help make this impact possible.
Gratitude to Noah Glaiset, Director of Development & Communications at St. Mary’s Center (and hopefully a future Rotarian!) for sharing:
🗣️ “We are grateful to our steadfast supporters from the Rotary Club of Oakland… Thank you Wil Hobbs for your stewardship and dedication.”
