Once again, our club will provide brand new winter coats to hundreds of children living in need in the City of Chicago and Northern suburbs. Coats will be provided to children served by six area organizations:
Each of these organizations is supported by members of our club. Your contribution will allow us to increase the number of children who receive a new winter coat so they will be happy and able to attend school on Chicago's cold winter days. Coats will be acquired at wholesale pricing ($17 per coat) from Operation Warm, a Rotarian founded non-profit that provides over 200,000 children with new coats each year.
Please donate generously. All donations are made to the Winnetka Northfield Rotary Charitable Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) charity, and are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Click to donate or send check to 620 Lincoln Ave, Winnetka IL 60093.
