Byesville Rotary has
provided Christmas food baskets to residents of the Rolling Hills School
District for over 20 years. Chuck Fair, club president, stated, “This year
holds extra challenges for our club. Because of COVID-19, we cannot hold our
traditional fund raiser—Breakfast with Santa. Because of COVID-19, we expect
the need for food baskets will be bigger this Christmas.”
Last year, the club
provided 198 food baskets to families in Rolling Hills. This year the club
expects to have applications well over 200. To meet this need, the club needs
to raise $8000. To meet this challenge the club plans to hold two “Stuff
Santa’s Stocking” fundraisers.
The first is planned
for Saturday, September 12. Club members will be standing in the intersection
of SR 313 and SR 285 in Senecaville from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm. Watch for Santa
Claus hats and Christmas stockings.
The second fundraiser
will be held In Byesville at the intersection of Main and 2ed. From 9:00 am until 1:00 pm. Please be generous when you
see the Santa Stockings. All funds raised will be used to purchase supplies for
the Christmas food baskets.
The main source of
funding for the food baskets is from the Rotary club efforts and is
supplemented by individual donations. A donation of $35 will feed an entire
family for several days. The club provides a basket of perishables including a
turkey and a basket of non-perishables and canned goods.
Donations may be mailed to Byesville Rotary, P.O. Box 211, Byesville, OH 43723. For additional information, contact any member of the Byesville Rotary or post to our Facebook page – search Byesville Rotary.
