Rotary Club of Thomasville Making A Big Impact In Their Community


Rotary Club of Thomasville made a BIG IMPACT on their local community at their “FRESH FOR YOU - Free Produce Market” in partnership with Second Harvest of South Georgia and Marguerite Neel Williams Boys & Girls Clubs on Saturday, July 22nd. The club’s efforts served a total of 253 households in the Thomasville-Thomas County community alone that day!

In 2021, during the club’s 100th year, the club embarked on a mission to discover the most critical needs in the Thomasville-Thomas County community. The results showed that diabetes, heart issues, and other health concerns affected a higher percentage of the residents compared to other parts of the country. But they didn't stop there! Rotary Club of Thomasville saw an opportunity to make a lasting impact on the quality of life for their neighbors by addressing this issue head-on.

The club’s initiative to provide fresh, healthy foods to the underserved community members has been incredibly successful. Each month, their "Fresh For You - Free Produce Market" offers a diverse selection of nutritious fruits, vegetables, proteins, and other healthy goodies

Join Rotary Club of Thomasville and members of Thomasville-Thomas County in celebrating the power of community and the joy of giving back. Together, this club and their community are building a healthier, happier future for Thomasville and Thomas County, one fresh produce at a time!
