SIP NIAGARA FUNDRAISING

The chilly weather didn’t stop our Rotary members and volunteers on December 4th and 5th at the Sip Niagara event held in Lincoln. Lots of fun and smiles on all the volunteers faces. Thank you to Tim Hortons for supplying our volunteers with free hot coffee and timbits for all our shifts over the two days.
 
A shout out to all the organizations and individuals that helped park cars at Sip Niagara in support of the Rotary Club of Lincoln as they fundraised for the “Gifts for Kids” project. Also, a big shout out to the organizing team that worked diligently behind the scenes to make the fundraising opportunity possible. With the help of many community partners, the club was able to supplement the budgeted money of $8000 to go towards the project.

 
All monies raised were put directly back to the project. All the monies are split between Community Care of West Niagara and Village of Hope to supply toys, gifts and gift cards to kids and youth in our community.
 

GIFTS FOR KIDS

After the successful fundraising and a thank you to Town of Lincoln staff and elected officials who collected toys on behalf of our Rotary club so we could add to our Gifts for Kids Project a donation of toys and gift cards were delivered to Community Care of West Niagara and Village of Hope.
 
This was the second year that the club chose to help these two organizations with their Christmas and Season of Hope Holiday Hampers.  The Rotarians were overjoyed to help Santa deliver Christmas gifts to @communitycarewn and The Village of Hope .
 
Although 2021 was a difficult one, Lincoln Rotarians and the generous people in our community including our friends at the Town of Lincoln, Ontario, committed to doing everything we could to put smiles on the faces of many children this holiday season.
