PROJECTS
The Greater Keene Rotaract Club primarily participates in local service projects that benefit children and families in need. Below are some of the projects that we have developed throughout the years as well as photos from events that we have assisted with. If you are looking to partner with us for a service project, feel free to reach out to us!
OPERATION ELVES
We piloted Operation Elves in December of 2018 and since then, it has become our central project each year. Our mission is twofold: create holiday magic for local children in need and empower their families to be involved in this process. Upon receiving information about each child from their families, our organization shops and curates an inventory from which families are able to select their children's gifts. Each child receives a new outfit, winter gear if needed, hygiene supplies, and about half a dozen gifts catered to their interests. Children's gifts additionally include their most desired item, as indicated on the form provided by their families.
In the project's first year, we were able to sponsor 28 local children. Operation Elves continues to support roughly 60 children in need each holiday season! |
