Rotary Bottle Drive Suspended January 15th - March 15th, 2021
To all our generous donors of bottles/cans:
We cannot thank you enough. Your support has allowed us to raise $14,000 in the 8 months we have been running the bottle drive. Rotary will use this money to support the less fortunate both locally and internationally. Due to COVID-19, the need is even greater than usual. Some examples of the projects our club has supported are;
- Supporting food security in Oakville
- Providing PPE for several local charities
- Providing gift cards at Christmas for 20 needy families
- Feeding the hungry in Guatemala and Honduras.
- Assisting with supplies for distance learning (printed workbooks + school supplies) for an elementary school in Guatemala.
- Purchasing medical equipment for a clinic in Guatemala that trains medical doctors and serves the poor.
Due to the overwhelming success of this fundraiser, we will be continuing the bottle drive in 2021. However, we will be taking a break from January 15th to March 15th to warm our fingers! Please arrange to drop off your donations or arrange a pickup before January 15th! Of course, we are hoping that you are able to store your bottles or cans until we start up again on March 15th.
Please note: if you are a resident of the Shores Condominium, we will continue to pick up weekly during this period.
