An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but a box of fresh fruit purchased from the Rotary Club of Hillsborough will help fund multiple community service programs all year!   That’s the goal of the annual fundraising event by the Rotary Club of Hillsborough in partnership with Pee Jay’s Fresh Fruit, a premier purveyor of fresh fruit with the nation’s largest selection of fruit for fundraising.

“By purchasing some fresh, delicious fruit, you will aid us in raising money to fund many community service projects,” commented Jim Beattie, member of the Rotary Club of Hillsborough responsible for organizing the event. “The enthusiasm we saw at last year’s inaugural fruit sale inspired us to make this an annual event.”

Being introduced to the product line this year are delicious cheesecakes - plain, strawberry swirl, and triple chocolate swirl.

All purchases are handled online at the following website: https://freshfruitorder.org/HillsboroughRotary/Shop/ProductsList.aspx  or visit our Club website at hillsboroughnjrotary.co

The deadline for ordering fruit and cheesecake online is November 20.  The fruit is tentatively scheduled to be delivered on December 17, with customer pick-up on December 18, between 8:30 am-12 pm, at Central Jersey Nurseries at 18 Hamilton Road, Hillsborough.  The fruit may also be sent as a gift.  Shipping charges are included in the price.   All gift orders will be shipped the week of December 18
