For the past several years, the Rotary Club of Quincy has supported the efforts of the Community Garden located near Blessing Hospital's 11th Street Campus. Like this similar project in Atlanta, the Community Garden provides fresh produce to area food pantries and those in need. A great partnership and another example of #ServiceAboveSelf!
