In April 2020, the Freeport Merrick Rotary club joined with a member in the community to purchase 600 face shields that were distributed to hospitals and clinics in the community during the pandemic when there was an acute shortage of PPE.

The pandemic caused many members of the community to be food deprived. The club members decided to pull their resources together and contribute to 5 food pantries in the area to help them meet the needs for adequate nutrition of the people affected by the pandemic. Some food pantries elected to receive the funds to purchase the food. Others wanted the club members to purchase the food and deliver to them for distribution. It was a great project and many club members who participated felt rewarded for the opportunity to serve those in need.

The Rotary Club of Downtown Los Angeles, California, USA, built and stocked a dozen public bookcases around the city so children and adults would have better access to books. People use them to both take and give books. The libraries reach areas without many sources of books, especially when public libraries are closed.
