On January 15, 2025, Richard Wojtowicz, President of the Rotary Club of Williamsville, along with fellow board members, presented a check for $11,000.00 to Lynsey Zimdahl Weaver, Executive Director, and Jeanmarie Cieslica, Director of Campaigns & Special Projects for Kevin Guest House. This generous contribution was made possible through the Rotary Club of Williamsville, benefited by a matching grant from The Rotary Foundation, funded by the proceeds from our 100th Anniversary Gala held in September.This donation will support Kevin Guest House in its $50,000.00 renovation project, specifically for the porch of one of their residences located at 788 Ellicott Street. This project will include the installation of a ramp to enhance accessibility for individuals with limited mobility on the first floor.
During our visit, Lynsey and Jeanmarie graciously provided a tour of their four houses, which offer lodging, parking, food services, and treatment accessibility for low-to-moderate income families.
The board members of the Rotary Club expressed their admiration for the impactful work being done by Kevin Guest House. The collaboration between these two organizations highlighted the power of community partnerships in creating positive change and enhancing the quality of life for those in need.
The check presentation was more than a financial transaction; it was a testament to the shared values and vision of both organizations. As they move forward, the Rotary Club and Kevin Guest House remain dedicated to fostering a spirit of compassion and service, ensuring a brighter future for all the families they serve.
