September 11th, 2023 was an energetic evening at the St. Mary’s Caring facility (20331 Point Lookout Rd. Great Mills, MD 20634) as local Lexington Park Rotarians came together for their bi-monthly club meeting.

Kristine Millen, director of St. Mary’s Caring, was gracious enough to host the club for a dinner / field trip. [The prevalence of food insecurities within our own community is something that should not be taken lightly and is exactly what we are trying to do something about.] Stated Connie Gunn, club Secretary, for the Lexington Park Rotary Club

At our field trip club meeting, we learned about the history of this wonderful non-profit; (St. Mary’s Caring). As well as the success stories which have helped to make their presence and charitable contributions to our community possible.

They are achieving their primary goal: Feeding those in need. “It is with great honor and pride that the Rotary Club of Lexington Park is privileged to support this fine charity.” Said Wanda Smith, Club President, for the Lexington Park Rotary Club

Food insecurities are one of the larger focal points for our club and we are honored to have had an opportunity to present St. Mary’s Caring with a considerable donation ($15,000) to aid in their efforts within our local community. Jane Sypher; Director of Charitable Projects
