The Rockport Rotary Club provided service to our community in several ways this season of thanksgiving and giving.
Part One - Our Families
We gathered and donated over 400 pounds food donations. Some was used in their Christmas baskets and some will refill their pantry.
Part Two - Children Under Twelve
We donated funds to Operation Santa Claus. We shopped, wrapped and delivered to several families.We collected toys and donated to the Fulton Fire Department for distribution to Aransas County Kids.Special thanks to Terry and Cathryn Hickman, friends of Rotary, for their generous donation of toys and food. I also discovered they were our unknown elves from last year.
Part Three - Our Four-legged Family Members
We were able to gather several bundles of supplies for The June Project with Dr. Dana Mercer
Part Four - Our Troops in Iraq & Afghanistan
We gathered food donations and delivered them for sending to the troops
Several generous cash donations were also made. We will split the funds between all four projects and send it their way after the start of the new year. Please consider adding to that pot of money and continue the season of giving.
