The Rotary Club of Port Hope hosted a fundraising effort from March 5 to 15, 2022. Funds were used in partnership with Shelter Box.org to provide emergency housing for people displaced by the crisis in Ukraine. Rotary club of Port Hope volunteers and generous community donors raised $4,800 during the 10 day campaign. Those donations were then matched by the Rotary Club of Toronto so a total of $9,600 was sent to support efforts by Shelter Box housing Ukrainian families in Poland. Thank you to Home Hardware in Port Hope which provided space in their store for the club to collect in-person donations.
Our Club was happy to take a walk in the sunshine on February 26th to support the Coldest Night of the Year fundraising for Greenwood Coalition. #cnoy2022
