ROTARIANS AT WORK!!
UPDATE:
The Final Count. 831 winter coats plus around a dozen boxes of gloves/hats/scarves/boots. In terms of winter coats, we are confident this is more than last year. Most have already been distributed to 9 charity organizations/locations, with the final boxes (pictured below) for World Relief Chicago, PADS, and a fifth dropoff at Connections for the Homeless all scheduled for next week. Two Men and a Truck will donate transportation for these boxes for a fourth straight week. So far, five organizations have received at least a first installment of coats: Refugee One, Stock the Shelves, Connections for the Homeless, Ethiopian Community Association (refugees), and Deerfield Free Store.
Thank you to our Northbrook & Glenview Rotarians and our communities who helped to make this mission a success!
