These clubs have participated in many community outreach projects this past year. The Elementary clubs have provided greeting cards to shut ins and Elderwood residents. They have made tie blankets to distribute to children in the hospital. They made care bags with toiletries for the homeless. They rang the bell to raise money for the Salvation Army at Grand Island Tops Market and they participated in the Grand Island Clean up.
The Interact clubs have organized a food drive for the Neighbors Foundation, helped with the Rotary trail cleanup, cleaned out the bird houses they created the prior year, and created decorative items for and visited the occupants of the Elderwood nursing home and the participants at the Golden Age Center. They also rang the bell to raise money for the Salvation Army at Grand Island Tops Market.
