Sunrise Rotary Club participates in “Fill the Backpack Campaign”

The County Division of Children and Family Services initiated a project to help guarantee that every child despite their circumstances would have access to the tools they need for a successful

year of learning and growth in the 2020 – 2021 school year. The Lakewood Rocky River Rotary Club decided to include this project with its many community service project of its current Rotary year. A group of their members got together in a member’s back yard and packed bags with supplies they had purchased from funds provided by the Club’s Foundation.

The Sunrise Club contributed 48 back packs to the 850 that were received by the Division as part of this year’s campaign. Families were able to pick up backpacks at drive-up events, and others were distributed by teaching staffs at schools. The objective of giving hope and making a difference was accomplished for many deserving children.

This is just one of many community, youth, vocational and international projects of area Rotary Clubs. To learn more about how you can join with men and women in your area to give back through service in your community, and internationally, contact – sloopyohio19@gmail.com
