Our Rotary Club is partnering with the Community House to collect for the New Trier Township Food Pantry! Please bring your donations – we are currently asking for canned tuna or chicken, granola bars, and Ziploc-style bags. The Community House is also publicizing this collection with its constituents, and members of our club will transport the collected items to the Food Pantry as needed, when the bin is full. We are very excited about this new collaboration! The current plan is to collect for the New Trier Township Food Pantry through the end of March, and then we may switch to collection for another organization – stay tuned!
At each Thursday meeting we are also still collecting pop tabs from aluminum cans and bread clips. The pop tabs will be donated to Ronald Mcdonald House for recycling and they go towards offsetting the costs of helping children and their families. The bread clips will be donated to 'Scarcely Resourced' who will be recycling them in partnership with 'Danielle Cares for Chairs'. A few thousand of these bread clips will purchase a wheelchair for a child in need. The bread tags are also now being utilized by a prosthetic clinic to strengthen the molding process of making a prosthesis.
