Continuing our club's long standing Thanksgiving tradition, we will once again partner with the Volunteer Center to provide post-holiday groceries for families in transitional housing who are served by Good News Partners in Chicago's North of Howard neighborhood. We will purchase groceries in bulk at Costco and club members will bag the groceries at our November 21st meeting. Please consider a donation to help us provide post-holiday groceries to these families in need. You can bring a check or cash to our November 14 meeting, make a pledge by emailing your pledge to info@wnrotary.org, or donate online by clicking here: DONATE NOW. We hope to provide over 100 bags of groceries, and have a fundraising goal of $2,000. This will be easy if everyone contributes. We will also need volunteers to pick up the groceries on Thanksgiving morning and deliver them to Good News Partners. We will meet at 9:15 at Skokie school, load up our cars, and drive to Good News Partners. You'll be back home before 11. Sign up to volunteer here: Volunteer to deliver food Thanksgiving morning. |
