In early January, two Avalon Rotary Club members, Lourdes Thoricht and Rita Whitaker traveled to Ensenada to distribute 925 food baskets and blankets throughout the poverty stricken areas of Ensenada.

The food baskets and blankets are given out each January to help celebrate the arrival of the Three Kings. The recipients were overjoyed with everything they received, particularly the warm blankets.
