Byesville Rotarians end 2019 with annual Xmas service project



Pictured: Friends, family, and Rotarians packing boxes for Byesville Rotary’s Christmas Food Basket program.Byesville Rotarians celebrated Christmas 2019 with two important projects.

On December 21, the club held their annual Breakfast with Santa. 

The pancake breakfast features complementary pictures with Santa with the purchase of breakfast. This project is one of several fundraisers for the club. Funds are raised by the breakfast and by donations from local businesses and individuals
.
Club members are grateful for support from our corporate sponsors who generously donate and help make this event possible every year. Sponsors included Howell-Craig Insurance Agency, Bruner Land Co Inc., Basic Systems, Peoples Bank, Kerry Inc., Moore Bros. Hardware, Patrons Buckeye Mutual Insurance, Bi-Con Services, and McElroy Tree Service
.
Funds raised support the club’s service projects which include donations to the Salvation Army’s summer brown bag lunch and support for local food pantries as well as the annual Christmas Food basket effort.

On December 21, the club also distributed Christmas food baskets to families living in the Rolling Hills School District. The 2019 program was an incredible. The Byesville club led a community project supported by--in addition to our fellow Rotarians—spouses, family members, and friends of club members, and service minded organizations including the Mid-East Career Center Interact Club, Byesville VFW, and Buckeye Trail Football players and coaches. Over 300 hours of community service were donated by club friends and supporters over and above the times donated by Rotarians.

One hundred and ninety-eight families received baskets this year. In addition, the club was able to donate several cases of green beans and two food baskets to the Main Avenue UMC food pantry and 6 turkeys to the Stop Nine Christmas dinner program
.
The food basket program received in-kind support from AVC Communications / Reisbeck’s food drive, Colgate Palmolive, Cambridge Packaging, T&J’s Market, Mid-East Career & Technology Center, Rolling Hills Schools, Guernsey County Board of Developmental Disabilities, and Kerry Industries. Rotarians, families, friends, and supporters donated over 200 articles of clothing, household items, etc. for the give-away tables.
Byesville Rotary club members are thankful for our community’s generous and continued support of this project.
