Rotary Club of Hamburg Sponsors Warm the Children; every dollar donated buys clothing for children in need
The Rotary Club of Hamburg has begun its 18th season of sponsoring Warm the Children, a program which assists families in need throughout the Southtowns each fall, before the cold winter sets in.
One hundred percent of all contributions go toward the purchase of new clothing for children in need and is fully tax-deductible. All administrative costs are absorbed by Rotary, while Club members are responsible for program coordination, with assistance from Evans Bank and community volunteers, who meet families at Walmart in Hamburg to select their clothing.
Early, generous support from West Herr Automotive Group, the Louise K. Mokadam Family Trust, and Orchard Park Presbyterian Church, is greatly appreciated. “We want to encourage those who wish to contribute to Warm the Children to do so as early as possible, so we may send as many families to Walmart as we can, before the snow begins to fall,” says Angelbeck.
Those wishing to contribute may do so by making checks payable to Warm the Children Fund, and either mailing or bringing donations to Evans Bank, 5999 S. Park Avenue, Hamburg, NY 14075. Or, contributions may be made online at www.hamburgrotaryclub.org/SitePage/warm-the-children.
