Four Clubs of Burlington together delivered 300 bags of candy to Wellington Square Church for Christmas dinners.

 

 
 
 
THANK YOU!
Dear Rotary Club of Burlington Central,
 
Your support of ShelterBox Canada has made a life-changing impact around the world. Thanks to your Club, families will receive the shelter, essential aid, and technical assistance needed to rebuild their lives after disaster and conflict.
 
Last year, ShelterBox was able to provide over 143,000 people with emergency aid thanks to our generous supporters. Together, we're not only changing lives -- we're saving lives.
 
Your Club's donation of $2,380.00 will help empower families with not only shelter but with the ability to recover. By providing shelter aid and the training needed to rebuild, families can restore normalcy to their lives, communities can work to recover together, and families can even return to work or school.
 
We are proud to be Rotary International's Project Partner, further strengthening a global circle of friendship. We also believe in being people of action. At ShelterBox, we are impatient to see no family left without shelter after disaster. Thank you for joining us in our mission and helping ensure we are always prepared to help when the unthinkable happens.
 
If you have any questions about your donation or about our responses, please do not hesitate to call me at our office at 647-352-1930
 
Kind Regards,
 
 
 
 
Stephanie Christensen
Executive Director
ShelterBox Canada

The Rotary Club of Burlington Central @rcbc7080 weekly meeting starts with our President Rene Papin reading out Truth and Reconciliation statement.
 
 
Our club has a newly formed Research and Reconciliation committee.  In observation of Orange Shirt, the committee invited Jim Daschuk, professor at University of Regina.
 
Jim gave our club an excellent presentation and described what this Orange Shirt Day truly means.  The past, the present and future for Indigenous community.
 
 
This level of research is continuous in our club and we are looking forward to finding ways to help and contribute to Indigenous culture, people and learn more.

Four Burlington Rotary Clubs at Christmas
 
Together, the four clubs in Burlington joined to prepare 800 goody bags full of candy canes, chocolates, a cookie and other sweets ready to add to the Christmas Dinners served on Christmas Day by the Meal Bag Program at Wellington Square United Church.
 
It has been a tough year: some folk lost their jobs, families lost loved ones, some had health issues and some became more socially isolated than ever.  Many community partners, friends, churches, and organizations, including Rotary, rallied together and did everything they could to deliver a safe ‘pandemic proof’ Christmas dinner and deliver a message of hope to those in such need. The Meal Bag Program at Wellington United Church is so grateful for the Christmassy candy bags provided by the four Burlington Rotary Clubs that gave that special touch, a sweet ending to the Christmas dinner.
 
Our partners, volunteers and friends who delivered the hot meals heard inspirational stories of gratitude for the meal on Christmas Day.
