Members of the Moline Rotary Club donated 523 mittens, gloves, scarves and hats this week to help keep children in the Moline School District warm during the coming winter months. These items will be donated to ten Moline-Coal Valley Elementary Schools and for use by students who do not have warm weather attire or who have forgotten theirs at home.
"Moline Rotarians continue to give back to the community through programs such as Warm Hands from Kind Hearts," says Tom Bracke, President of Moline Rotary. "I appreciate the generosity of Moline Rotarians to help make sure younger students in Moline and Coal Valley public schools can stay warm this winter".
2015 marks the 6th Annual "Warm Hands from Kind Hearts" initiative within Moline Rotary. The Moline Rotary Community Needs Committee continuously identifies additional opportunities to impact the citizens within the city of Moline and the Rock Island County area. "Moline Rotary and our 120 members celebrated our 100th anniversary of service to the community in 2014 and we are continuing our caring support into the next centruy," said Bracke. The club also supports numerous service projects in the Quad Cities and through Rotary International."
The mission of Rotary International is to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through its fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.
