Youth Holiday Stocking Campaign
The holiday season can be difficult. A gift of some essentials can make a difference for those in need. Rotary Club of Erin members will be working to make the Holiday Season a better experience for youth in need in our community. Supporting youth and our community are key components of Erin Rotary’s mission and strategic direction.
We plan to fill 20 stockings for young males and females aged 12-18 with essential and enjoyable items. Rotary members will financially donate to buy the supplies, volunteer to shop for the items, fill the stockings, and deliver them to East Wellington Community Services (EWCS) to distribute to the youth.
Community support will enable Erin Rotary to prepare additional stockings so that more young people have a better Holiday Season.
