HOLIDAY HOPE CHESTS

During the month of November, the Rotary Club of Bethlehem Morning Star will bring "happiness in a shoebox" to many less fortunate children here in the Lehigh Valley.
Holiday Hope Chest is a program run through the Volunteer Center of the Lehigh Valley. In 2019, they collected over 9,000 wrapped shoeboxes donated by area businesses, clubs and churches. Each wrapped box is filled with gifts that go to children served by one of over 40 local non-profits and schools.
We are looking for volunteers for the following positions:
  • Shoebox donors
  • Gift wrap donors
  • Shoebox wrappers
  • Gift donors
  • All of the above
  • Driver to pick up shoeboxes from Rotarians
MSR has pledged to give 45 filled and wrapped boxes. If we meet this goal quickly, we can ALWAYS donate more!
  1. SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER BY FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20.
  2. Collect and wrap empty shoeboxes (no boot boxes). HOW TO WRAP A SHOEBOX WITH ATTACHED LID
  3. Purchase age-appropriate items for your boxes (please no food or candy). Value of gifts approximately $25 per box. GIFT SUGGESTIONS BY AGE
  4. Place items into your wrapped shoeboxes.
  5. HOLIDAY HOPE CHEST GIFT TAG - Print, cut, fill out the gift tag, and affix one to the short side of the Holiday Hope Chest. Please make sure the tags you print out match what you have indicated on your form.
  6. A Rotary volunteer will pick up your wrapped and filled Holiday Hope Chest on TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1 BETWEEN 10AM-2PM.

MSR UPDATE MATCH FOR TJ ELEMENTARY
President Oesmann announced that at the September 9, 2020 Board meeting, a motion was approved to provide up to a $500 match of funds to support the needs of Thomas Jefferson Elementary School. The school needs includes classroom supplies, protective equipment, and help for food insecure families. It was suggested members contribute money they would normally have used for a month's worth of meeting attendance or just as a donation to support this effort.
 
We have exceeded $1,288+ and will close the program October 31. BUT there is still time to be more helpful to the students at TJE! Please get your contributions in. Thank you all for your support.
 
Send your checks payable to Morning Star Rotary to  Treasurer Jean Searfoss 1409 Bogie Avenue Wescosville, PA 18106; or press the DONATE button on the website for credit cards and designate TJ ELEMENTARY.
