The Rotary Club of West Polk County is proud to continue our partnership, like many other Rotary clubs, with Operation Warm. Our club was able to raise enough funds to purchase over 60 coats this year, which were donated to the Dallas Center-Grimes Community School District. The District helps to get the coats into the hands of students who really need them. A warm coat is essential in our climate. However, we believe that this donation provides more than just an important article of clothing. Operation Warm provides warmth, confidence, and hope through basic need programs that connect underserved children to community resources they need to thrive.
Our Club LOVES offering service and assistance wherever we see a need, so far as our resources will allow. If this is something that resonates with you, please consider becoming a member. You not only get to hang out with some pretty remarkable and caring people, but you get the opportunity to do good things for our community, through service, education, and camaraderie.If you would like to learn more about Operation Warm and what they do, you can visit their website HERE. Finally, we would like to thank the DC-G School District for their assistance in distributing the coats. We sincerely appreciate the partnership for good that we've forged over the years.
