In March, communities in the Rio Grande Valley were impacted by floods, and our District received a $25,000 Disaster Grant from The Rotary Foundation. The coordinator of the Grant, PDG Eddie Bartnesky, worked with DG Elaine Hernandez and Project Arise to identify 27 families who received serious water damage to their homes in three communities in Edinburg, Pharr, and Alamo. The grant is providing new beds for these families valued at $20,580.46. We will be distributing the beds to these families in mid-August. If you would like to help with the distribution of these beds, please contact DG Elaine Hernandez at ehernandez2125@gmail.com.
The remainder of the grant will be used to purchase equipment / tools for our Disaster Trailer.
Many of our district Rotarians donated their time to assist with the muck-and-gut efforts organized by Disaster Aid USA in the Harlingen area after the floods. Do you recognize anyone in this photo?
