It's go-time for the Rotary’s annual toy drive benefitting the Salvation Army, so let’s assault those malls and do some damage.

 

This year, the Salvation Army will provide toys to 3,000 needy families in Sacramento that otherwise would not receive a visit from Santa.

 

The Rotary Club of Sacramento is one of the Army’s major patrons in this endeavor (typically donating hundreds of toys each year), and the need this Christmas is as great as it has ever been.

 

The Army advises that they have a particular toy need right now for 1 to 2 year olds, and 10 to 12 year olds, so these are the ages that we can impact most for them.

 

If it’s easier for you to cut a check or donate cash, go right ahead, as the Club will forward the money directly to the Army so that they can buy additional toys or help fund the 6,000 Christmas dinner boxes that they’ll hand out to hungry folks this year.

 

You can make the check payable to the Rotary Club of Sacramento (enter “Toy Drive” in the memo line) and bring it to Monday’s meeting or mail it to the Club office.
