$10,000 DONATION TO DISASTER RELIEF

Members of the Rotary Club of Brantford are pleased to donate $10,000 to the Rotary Foundation for Disaster relief in Ukraine.  This money is going directly into Ukraine.  To quote John Germ, Chair of The Rotary Foundation, "This is the priority"....to direct all funds knowing that disaster response grants to supply water, food, medicine, shelter and clothing will be put to use quickly and effectively in the regions most in need. Our relief fund works with our partner Shelter Boxes and the United Nations High Commission on Refugees.  The Rotary Action Group for Refugees, Forced Displacement, and Migration is also mobilizing its resources to assist in this crisis.
 
The Rotary Club of Brantford provides local support for physically challenged children, youth programs, exchanges, and local projects.  This year funds have also been donated to revamp a school playground, support the Boys and Girls Club, create a calming family room for children’s mental health services, and healthy snacks have been provided to two local schools.
