Each year, United Way of Treasure Valley organizes a massive volunteer event called Holiday Helper. Over 300 volunteers will come together on November 10 to fill 3,500 boxes of food and supplies, which will be directed through school counsellors to students experiencing homelessness in the Treasure Valley.
Our club donated a gift tree last year. This year, United Way has asked us for donations of protein-rich foods like peanut butter (in small jars), tuna (ready-to-eat and includes a spoon), and warm winter socks (all sizes). Let’s pitch in and fill that need! On November 1 and November 8, bring donations of any of those items to our regular Rotary meeting. If you don’t wish to shop, Venmo Cornelia.
