Since 2012, our club has supported families through the Childrens' Foundation Adopt-A-Family program that delivers gifts and grocery cards to families each December by anonymously matching Families with Donors. However, some amazing volunteers work year-round behind the scenes ... some for more than 25 years! Recently, Rotary facilitated the donation of many brand new books from a store that was closing down and the volunteers are thrilled!
