The Rotary Club of Peterborough Kawartha wanted to thank some of the people in our community who are working to keep the shelves stocked and food on our tables during the COVID-19 pandemic.

So last Friday (May 22), Rotarians visited three grocery stores in Peterborough to distribute Tim Hortons gift cards to workers.

The three grocery stores, which were chosen through a random draw, were No Frills on George Street, Farmboy on Lansdowne Street, and Foodland on Hunter Street.

A total of 100 gift cards, each worth $5 at Tim Hortons, were distributed to the grocery store workers.
