The Rotary Club of Sint Maarten Prepares Food Baskets for Upcoming Holiday Season
PHILIPSBURG, ST. MAATEN – November 15, 2025 - Members of the Rotary Club of St. Maarten, the Learning Unlimited Interact and EarlyAct Clubs and the St. Maarten Academy Interact Club gathered at the Belair Community Center today to prepare 225 Food Baskets for the upcoming Holiday season. An assembly line of volunteers put flour, rice, cereals, canned vegetables, and many other food items necessary for a great holiday feast together in Carrefour Market bags and staged them for same day delivery directly to those in need.
According to Rotary Club of Sint Maarten President, Adelena Chandler, “The preparation and distribution of food baskets to those in need goes right back to the reason so many of us are members of Rotary. We all simply want to ‘do good in the world’ and the distribution of these food baskets is just another example of doing good in the world right here in our local community. I am particularly proud that our young leaders, the Interactors and Earlyactors, who have shown us the importance of serving our community continues to live on in the new generation. On behalf of the Rotary Club of Sint Maarten, please accept our best wishes for a joyous, safe, happy and healthy holiday season”.
Chandler continued, "Thank you to everyone who helped organize today's effort. I would be remiss if I did not mention James Park, our Service Project Chair, and our Past President Danny Ramchandani for their special efforts to make this project a success. Happy Holiday Season to all!".
