For club members, serving the needs of the community includes supporting local non-profit organizations that fill a vital role in helping those most at risk. During our July 15th meeting, members awarded Knight-Light Charities a grant in support of their mission to financially assist those in our community that are facing a crises and need assistance with their rent, medical services, utility bills or food. The success of their mission has often prevented homelessness.
One of the most fun projects of a member is to be able to award a grant to another area non-profit serving the needs of the community.
It was no different when we were able to announce our grant to Hearts for Homes this past week. The mission of Hearts for Homes is to improve living conditions for low-income senior homeowners in Denton County. Our donation will help buy needed supplies to repair homes for 84 senior homeowners.
The Lewisville Morning Rotary Club is proud to announce a grant given to Veterans Produce to continue their mission to end veteran hunger. Veterans Produce feeds homeless veterans by building community greenhouse gardens then teaching them to grow their own food.
Our members are pleased to be able to share our fundraising blessings with Veterans Produce. Their environmentally friendly way of producing food is an example for all to follow. We encourage community members to visit their facility at the Rich Lubke Organic Gardens where the above photo was taken. You will be impressed. Delicious, nutritious food produced naturally with a zero carbon footprint.
Christian Community Action (CCA) is well known in our community for its Food Pantry for families that are food insecure. The pantry is reopening soon after the pandemic limited disbursements to preselected foods through a drive up process.
Club members are proud to have been able to support CCA throughout the pandemic by volunteering at the drive-up events. We hope to continue our monthly volunteer efforts with the Hebron High School Interact and National Honor society members.
For club members, serving the needs of the community includes supporting local non-profit organizations that fill a vital role in helping those most at risk. Last week members awarded Creating Young Minds a grant in support of their mission is toteach young men about the importance of education, hard work and being humble in all aspects of life.
For years our club members have supported the Salvation Army by volunteering to ring the bell during their annual Christmas season Red Kettle campaign. This year we are supporting them financially through a grant to help them continue their vital food kitchen mission in Lewisville.
For club members, serving the needs of the community includes supporting local non-profit organizations that fill a vital role in helping those most at risk. Last week members awarded Families for Freedom a grant in support of their mission is to transport victims of domestic abuse to safety.
