Rotary Club of Edina collecting gifts for annual Holiday Giving Program
Once again this holiday season, the Rotary Club of Edina is asking for unwrapped gifts for children of any age, as well as moms, dads, and families, as part of the Edina Rotary Holiday Giving Program. Share your holiday spirit with those in need in our community, and bring gifts to any Rotary Club of Edina meeting in December.
Well, the snow came down in earnest today, reminding us the holiday season is upon us. Again this year, the Rotary Club of Edina will be collecting holiday gifts for families in need in our community. Rotarian Jean Morrison is spearheading the Holiday Giving Program, and asks that members bring UNWRAPPED gifts for children of any age (infant all the way through teens) as well as gifts for moms, dads, and families, to the Edina Country Club for the next three Thursdays. The gifts can be dropped off at the regular Rotary meetings on Dec. 5 and 12, or at the Holiday Party on Dec. 19.
This year, the organizations benefitting from the Edina Rotary Holiday Giving Program are:
• VEAP—a non-profit, social service agency that assists low-income families in Bloomington, Edina, Richfield, and south Minneapolis.
• Oasis for Youth—a resource center for homeless that houses youth in Bloomington, Edina, and Richfield.
• Veterans' Family Group—serving the needs of veterans of all ages.
Take this opportunity to bring some holiday light and cheer to families in our community that need it most. If you have questions about the program, or need gift ideas for children or families, contact Jean Morrison at jean@jeanmorrisonhr.com.
Thank you!
