Operation Warm

We need your help to make a positive difference in the lives of local children living in need.

Nearly 20 % of American children live in poverty. And that was before the COVID-19 recession. For a family of four, their income is less than $26,200/year.

We have decided to take action in the fight against childhood poverty in St. Charles, Geneva, and Batavia, Illinois. We are teaming up with Operation Warm, a national nonprofit. We will gift brand new coats to kids in our community. These coats will be distributed through our local Salvation Army, Lazarus House (our local homeless shelter), and St. Charles School District d303. But we need your help!!

This is not a coat drive. Operation Warm will provide us with brand new coats in a variety of styles and colors. Every $20 we raise provides a new coat to a local child in need. 100% of all money raised goes toward a new coat. Help us reach our goal of $8,000 by October 31st!

Please help today with a tax-deductible contribution here. Any donation you can give will be so welcome and will bring warmth and happiness to more children! The process is fast, easy, and secure just by clicking on the above BLUE link.

Thanks so much for your compassion and care for children.

Warming up the Community this Winter

The St. Charles Breakfast Rotary Club rallied the community for a successful "Koats for Kids" fundraising event at Le Mesa in 2019. Many generous people came out in support of the club's effort to raise money to purchase coats for kids in need within the community. With over $10,000 raised, over 250 coats were purchased and distributed to several organizations including Salvation Army, Lazarus House, and D303.

Looking for RYLA Participants

Do you know of any outstanding high school students who could benefit from developing their leadership skills? If so, encourage them to apply for one of the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) retreats in Spring 2018 (March 8-11 and April 12-15). Student feedback on this experience is always outstanding. Take a look at this video to get a feel for RYLA. You can download a RYLA brochure and application in the download file area to your right. We sponsor 3 students a year. This is a great opportunity for tomorrow's leaders.
