WHAT DO YOU DO WITH SURPLUS GRAPES?

The Dunkirk Fredonia Rotary Club, with financial assistance from a District 7090 Grant, recently purchased a grape press for the Chautauqua County Rural Ministry.  The press will be used to process grape juice from surplus grapes, and distribute the juice to the 20 food pantries in Chautauqua County that Rural Ministry supports.
