The Rockport Garden Club Service Committee provides services to both Oceanside Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, (formerly DenMar Center) and to The Open Door, which provides food and hospitality. Our service efforts are enthusiastically received and appreciated.
At Oceanside Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, garden club members arrange baskets of flowers for the dining room and nurses’ stations both for Mother’s Day and for the Christmas holiday season.
At “The Open Door” we host and serve three dinners each year (April, July & October) for those seeking a meal in an inviting social setting. Garden club volunteers provide and serve the meal, which includes salad fixings and delicious homemade dessert bars as well as a delicious entree.
