Until December 18 the Rotary Club of Victoria collected items to be donated to Anawim House. This continued the effort we made last year.

The Anawim Companions Society supports adults in need who are transitioning to a stable situation and provides meals and support for other adults in need.
 
Many members donated items.  Special thanks to Marlene Oliver, Naz Sicherman, Peter Norman & Gordon Greeniaus for their efforts in gathering and delivering all the donations. Value Village donated many items from their surplus stock. With the large quantity of items collected we were also able to make donations to the Mustard Seed and Sandy Merriman House.
