A local non-profit is helping give money to other Central Coast organizations.
The Rotary Club of Morro Bay unveiled its 2022-23 grant recipients Tuesday.
The rotary club gave away $14,000 worth of grants.
The receiving organizations included:
- Morro Bay in Bloom, Inc.

“This is what Rotary is. Helping others and that’s what we did. We are helping others as much as we can and we are doing as much as we can. I wish we can do more but this is our budget,” said John Solu, rotary club president.
Sixty-six rotary club members raised more than $75,000 this year.
The remaining $61,000 will go toward earthquake preparedness and high school scholarships, among other various needs.
