The Rotary Club of Canton is continuing its longtime mission of supporting neighbors in need.

The Club presented checks to two local organizations as part of its annual charitable giving funded by member donations and community fundraisers. 

During a recent online Rotary meeting, Canton Rotarian Greg Elder, who is senior director of resource development for MUST Ministries, delivered an update on the nonprofit organizations efforts to serve the Cherokee County community.

MUST Ministries provides many forms of support to people in need including food, clothing, and household goods, as well as employment assistance. After Elders presentation, President Stacey D. Williams announced the Rotary Club would donate $1,500 to MUST.

In June, President Williams and District Attorney Shannon Wallace, who is also a Canton Rotarian, visited Tiny House Village, a nonprofit organization that oversees a community of tiny homes that house victims rescued from sex trafficking, to present a $1,000 donation.
