ROTARY News:
During this season of giving, the Los Alamos High School (LAHS) Rotary Interact Club, a student-led group dedicated to service, will be hosting a community-wide food and winter clothing donation drive. All food and clothing received will be distributed to various charities that aim to assist the homeless and refugee population in New Mexico.
One in every six people and one in every four children in New Mexico suffer from food insecurity. Furthermore, with the coming winter and temperatures dropping, the LAHS Rotary Interact Club is thrilled to see the community’s engagement in the event to “Spread the Warmth” this festive season.
The club will be accepting donations 2-7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3 at Zia Credit Union, 1001 Central Ave. The Interact Club also will sell baked goods and hot chocolate, particularly during the Light Parade starting at 6 p.m., to raise money for The Food Depot, a Northern New Mexico-based organization that aims to feed the hungry.
The Rotary Interact Club thanks the community for its generosity!
