WHY NOT?

Brantford Rotarians support the Why Not Youth Centre in Brantford in partnership with the Rotary Club of Brantford Sunrise by hosting dinners on the 4th Monday of each month. With the drop-in centre not being open for the youth over the Thanksgiving long weekend, we wanted to do something to help. In a recent health check survey our club conducted, feedback indicated our members wanted to do more hands-on projects.  So we collected hundreds of non-perishable snacks and drinks, and set up an assembly line where Rotarians made up care packages after our club meeting. We then delivered nearly 100 care packages to the centre where they were received by Why Not staff to be distributed in time for the Thanksgiving weekend.
