We are grateful to have been able to help out at Bethlehem Emergency Sheltering in March!

March was a busy month at the shelter with close to 70 of our street neighbors staying with us each night. Big thanks go out to the volunteers who worked diligently to prepare meals, monitor showers, bus tables, clean up the kitchen, and in general make sure that guests received the support that they needed.

We 💕💕💕our volunteers!!

The result? Eight new Rotary clubs, three new Interact clubs, and Rotary returning to communities where it had disappeared.
