River Valley Rotary Supports Families in Need

Club members collect winter clothing items to help local families.

—Submitted by Lemont-Bromberek District 113A

The River Valley Rotary Club worked in the months of November and December to collect winter necessities such as coats, hats, gloves, scarves and boots for local families in need. The students created flyers to hang around the school, and also decorated and distributed collection boxes. Each week, the students emptied the boxes and sorted the items into different bags.

All donations made are directly benefiting individuals in the Lemont community. Thank you to the residents of Lemont that brought in donations in November and December after seeing the press release, as well as our RV families. In total, we collected over 50 coats and countless winter accessories!
