Welcome to The Rotary Club of Lenexa!

As you know we are participating in this multi-Club District Grant. Our goal is to provide at least 180 Winter Kits for female victims of Human Trafficking who are living on the streets.  While we have funds budgeted in the grant to reach this goal, all clubs are asking their members for donations of certain items for the kits so that we can exceed our goal. Our club was selected to donate warm winter gloves. To date we only have 10 pairs. I would like to get 40 pairs - approximately one for each member. If you can do so, please bring in your donation this Friday. Remember, we need warm gloves in women's large sizes (or the equivalent in men's sizes). 

 

Once all items for the kits have been secured, we will schedule a  "build" in the local area. More news on the date and the location to follow.

 

Thank you in advance for your donations.
