RESPONDING TO NEEDS

Virtual meetings and virtual socials have kept members of the Rotary Club of Brantford-Sunrise updated and social during these unprecedented times.
 
Responding to the ongoing need for personal protective equipment, the club contributed $1,400 to the Brant Community Healthcare Foundation to help purchase facemasks for healthcare workers who are working the frontline during the COVID-19 crisis. This contribution was made possible through the support of the District Grants Committee for District 7090 and The Rotary Foundation.  
 
Also recognizing that non-profit organizations require assistance more than ever, Brantford-Sunrise sent $2,000 to the Brantford Food Bank, and the Brantford-Sunrise Rookie Committee supported Food4Kids, an organization that provides healthy food packages to children who have limited or no access to food otherwise.
