Many hands make for light work and the job was readily accomplished! 
As we did last year, Juneau-Gastineau Rotarians gathered enough hats, gloves, warm socks, toothbrushes, snacks and treats for 55 gifts for the homeless population of the Glory Hall. Juneau Douglas High School Interact club packaged these gifts and had a nice physically distanced social. Much thanks to them and we anticipate the gifts will be as appreciated as they were last year. The Glory Hall administrator told us it’s a pretty cheerless time for these individuals and last year the gifts were truly appreciated.
Our club has supported this project for many years! Please help us provide 360 dinner boxes this year. A contribution through gofundme of just $30 provides a holiday dinner for a family that might not have one otherwise! https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/2020-racheal-macleod-christmas-di%20nner-box-project
It was a Kiva lend with a Zoom meeting this morning! All from our homes, 9 of us met and made 9 $100 loans. We loaned in Bolivia, Nicaragua, Philippines, Tonga, El Salvador, Cambodia, Paraguay and India. We chose a welding shop, a tile maker, a furniture maker, 2 weavers, a sanitary latrine, a general store, a farmer and a pizzeria in Paraguay!
Very good progress toward our $100,000 goal.
