Schools are closed this week, and will probably stay closed for some time due to the coronavirus epidemic. For the same reason, we are no longer holding weekly meetings at the Malta Diner. But that doesn't mean we're out of the action. For the past several years, a volunteer from our Rotary club has delivered food to qualified students in the Bountiful Backpacks program. Normally, he picks it up from the main Shenendehowa School District campus in Clifton Park, NY, and delivers it to the Chango Elementary School in Malta. This week, the program has rebooted, and volunteers are being asked to make home deliveries. So that's what our guy did today, bringing supplies to 11 students at six residences, where everyone was gracious.
