On Friday, 1/24/20, Community Service Chair Gracie Johnston introduced a new Community Service project for February - The Love Month! Love thy neighbor as thyself!.....Caring, Sharing and Giving! Gracie showed a Winter Survival Bag, which contained a winter hat, gloves, lotion and lip balm.
We will provide "Winter Survival Kits" to the kids at the Preble Street Teen Center. Kits will include: mittens, gloves, hats, scarves, hand warmers/foot warmers, hand lotion, lip balm, and refillable water bottles. Preble Street's shelter holds 24 teens, but they would welcome any number of kits. Our goal is to fill 48 kits and we'll identify them by gender. We'll be contacting Reny's and Wal-Mart for donations and are asking Rotarians to donate the items listed above. Water bottles and lip balm will be donated by Portland Radio Group.
We plan on filling the "kits" at a February meeting, so please start bringing items to this Friday's meeting, January 31, 2020.
Thank you!
