Our club is continuing the tradition of focusing on local service during the holiday season. This year, our club will complete a food drive, adopt a family, collect items for local teens to benefit Toys for Tots and ring the bell for the Salvation Army.
Adopt-A-Family
Items for our adopted family.
Doing good locally….our club recently adopted a family from Wakefield for the holidays after learning a single mom and her son needed some items for the winter. We purchased all of the items on the boy’s wish list and then threw in a few things for mom too. Thanks to the Salvation Army for making the connection for us!
Salvation Army Bell Ringing

This year, again, we’ll volunteer over 40 hours of ringing for the Salvation Army bell. We invite our friends and family each year and we enjoy making this a Rotary Family opportunity.
This year our Rotarians donated over $500 in gift cards, toys and sports equipment for local pre-teens and teens.
Toys for Local Kids
Each year at our holiday party, our Rotarians bring toys and gift cards for local pre-teens and teens. Again, we delivered.
