Rotary Club of Del Mar members, spouses and friends gathered at the Del Mar Fairgrounds grandstand to pack holiday baskets for the Community Resource Center (CRC). Packing is efficient as boxes roll along conveyor belts in front of different stations stocked with staples. After supplementing with turkey or chickens, recipients have what they need to prepare holiday meals with all the trimmings. The CRC holiday baskets represent the largest distribution program in San Diego and will serve over 1,500 families who live in San Marcos, Vista, Oceanside, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Solana Beach or Del Mar and have an annual household income that is at or below 80% of the area median income. Together, we packed nearly 280 boxes in just a few hours.
