NICU Kids Helping Kids
Last week's speaker was Ellie Taylor, Director of Outreach for the Neonatal Development subunit of Kids Helping Kids Sacramento. She and members of her team shared about the subunit of Kids Helping Kids, made up of nine students, including her, at Del Campo High School. It aims to aid infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit who are at a high risk of lacking sensory development skills.
Below are her and her team sharing why they do it and their passion to help
Chamber Sock Drive
The Chamber of Commerce extended its sock drive and will collect socks through February 13th, when they host their February breakfast. The Chamber has collected 1,511 pairs of socks so far, with more than 298 pairs donated by Rotarians!
If you are interested in donating additional socks, they indicated that they are a bit low on infant and kids' socks. Of course, they will still take socks of all sizes, but if you are going out to buy socks, infants and kids would be great! Socks can be dropped off at the Chamber office (3700 Rocklin Rd, Rocklin, CA 95677), or you can join the Chamber at their breakfast on February 13th (details can be found at https://web.rocklinchamber.com/events/GoodMorning%20Rocklin%20Breakfast-12375/details).
