Weatherford Rotary

Rotarians ring the bell for charity

A big thank you to the Rotarians who braved the cold to volunteer for the annual Salvation Army Red Kettle campaign last week. Their service was much appreciated to those in the community who need a little extra help this holiday season. The Red Kettle Campaign was started by Salvation Army captain in San Francisco in 1891 and has grown into one of the most recognizable and important charitable outreach efforts in the United States. According to the Salvation Army, in 2022, the Salvation Army raised $100 million with their annual campaign. Volunteer Bell Ringers man their “Red Kettles” at retail store fronts and shopping malls at approximately 25,000 locations nationwide. Eighty-three cents of every dollar donated during this time is used to support the organizations many missions throughout the world.

WHS Interact club gets boost from the club

Our club presented a check to the Weatherford HS Interact Club last Tuesday to help with start up fees for their club started and to purchase a new 4-Way test banner. This donation will help further both the growth of this club and the mission of Rotary. We can’t wait to see what these young adults accomplish in the community.

Rotary Club of Weatherford Helps Center of Hope with food pantry

Reminder that the food drive is still going on. Please bring your items to the upcoming Rotary meetings.

At the last board meeting, the board of directors voted to provide Center of Hope with immediate financial assistance with their food pantry. In the previous month, Center of Hope provided over 2,300 people with a month's worth of groceries, depleting their food pantry. In September, even more families will be relying on Center of Hope for food assistance. With the Center of Hope needing supplies on a monthly basis, especially during the holidays, President Andy Browning has challenged members to bring food this fall season to help Center of Hope.

"I am challenging members to bring non-perishable food items to meetings from now through December as a type of "food drive" to help with the need in the coming months. In appreciation for the donations brought, members who make a donation of any size will receive entry into a drawing for a $50 gift card that will be given away at our Christmas party on December 17. I will also extend this same offer to cash donations as well (checks can be made out to Center of Hope)," he explained. "Let's show up and help Center of Hope through this time of need. I thank you in advance for your support."
