Thursday, January 31st found five Rotary Santa Maria South members (Bob Peters, Ken Parker, Susan Ziemba and Peter and Audrey Garcia) volunteering to serve meals for a very special Central Coast Rescue Mission event. The Mission was hosting a recognition for its recent program graduates, who had completed a year-long program to help them re-establish themselves, learn enhanced living skills, and become productive members of the community.

Club members participating offered to help in the kitchen or "wait" tables for Central Coast Rescue Mission volunteers, graduates, and families of graduates.

The Rotary Club of Santa Maria South participates regularly in Central Coast Rescue Mission outreach to homeless and needy individuals and families in Santa Maria, providing kitchen and serving staffing every two months or so for the Mission's free meals to the neediest in our community. Club volunteer serving opportunities are coordinated by Community Service co-chair Bob Peters.
