Rotary continues to be people of action. Another home delivery with so many great home pantry items! Elgin Police Department provided a flyer on Senior Scams and clip-on book lights! Thanks to Salvation Army, Bear Family Foundation and their volunteers!

Senior Home Delivery

Posted on May 08, 2020

Thank you Rotarians, Kiwanians, and Senior Service Volunteers! We had over 50 drivers. They delivered boxes of food from Food For Greater Elgin to over 130 of our senior neighbors who are abiding by the stay-at-home order. And, with absolute minimal contact for their safety and ours! All boxes were on their way within an hour. This was our 3rd delivery project. And, thanks to our Captain Heather - the most organized person we know!

Another Great Day!

On April 24, 2020 -

Another successful project! Boxes and bags of food were packed, stacked, mapped and tracked. They found their way to 100 seniors' homes. Thanks to everyone who helped out! It was a heart-warming collaboration between Senior Service, The Salvation Army, Rotary Club of Elgin, Elgin Breakfast Rotary, and Kiwanis. If you didn't get to see the ballerina hippo - you certainly missed out!

Thank you to everyone who participated.

On April 3, 2020 - Rotary Club of Elgin helped sponsor and volunteer so 70 Seniors would have doorstep delivery of home goods (yes, even TP!), and an abundant supply of fresh and non-perishable groceries. We worked with The Salvation Army and Senior Services as well as volunteers from the Breakfast Rotary Club, Elgin Kiwanis Club, and Senior Services. Thanks everyone!

A special shout out to Captain Heather (the one with the clipboard) who was the glue that held it all together and made it run so smoothly!

This was mentioned yesterday in an NBC News Show.
Another is planned for April 24, 2020. We are all in this together!
