新界扶輪社於2020年7月及8月分別舉辦了「口罩贈社群2020」及「口罩助社群2020」共助捐了22萬個口罩以應社會抗疫之急。但近日疫情持續繼而𧗠生出社會上就業及基層温飽等問題 ， 新界扶輪社有見及此決定舉辦「愛心送大米2020」，號召新界扶輪社社友募捐了1000公斤米糧，並由新界扶輪社長陳志雄與一眾社友親身將1000公斤米糧送到多個志願機構再派發予長者、低收入家庭、長期病患、復康、傷殘及智障人士等人士。受惠志願機構包括惜食堂、美差會潮浸服務聯會、鄰舍輔導會及民社服務中心。

The Rotary Club of the New Territories held two rounds of “Masks Donation to the Community 2020” in July and August 2020, respectively, and donated total 220,000 masks in response to the social emergency under the threat of Covid-19.

Therefore, the Rotary Club of the New Territories has decided to hold the “Rice and Food Donation 2020” and called on the members of the Rotary Club of the New Territories to donate total 1,000 kilograms of rice. Francis Chan, the President of Rotary Club of the New Territories, led its members to personally delivered the 1,000 kilograms of rice grains to a number of social welfare organizations.
