The Rotary Club of Edina and the Edina Country Club are collecting new and gently used coats, hats, gloves and mittens.
My Very Own Bed delivers on a promise to give children their very own bed — a place to sleep, dream, and recharge. All too often, children transitioning to permanent housing are sleeping on the floor, an air mattress or sharing a bed with their parents or a sibling. By providing new beds and Dream Kits, My Very Own Bed gives children a space of their own while supporting productive sleep to help them learn and grow. The Rotary Club of Edina is collecting new blankets, pillows, sheets for twin-size beds and pillowcases.
Donations will be collected at the Rotary Club of Edina’s through December 7 meetings or dropped off at the Edina County Club, 5100 Wooddale Ave. To make alternative arrangements, contact Rotarians Vinita Steffl, 763-248-5758 or vinitasteffl@gmail.com, or Dan Hunt, 612-910-5414 or dhunt7152@gmail.com.
