Thursday, June 18, 2020 By: Rainey Niklawski

This week, our speaker was Kerry Blumberg- Executive Director of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Richmond!  Our club was able to give away a $10,000 COVID-19 relief grant to a nonprofit incurring large expenses because of the virus, and we chose to help RMHC Richmond.  Because of state regulations, families have been housed in hotel rooms at the expense of the organization, and volunteer programs temporarily suspended.  The organization also needed some large safety upgrades in their 100 year old building to meet upgraded sanitation standards for families, volunteers and staff.  Kerry spoke on behalf of the organization, but made it very clear that this was a relief to every staff member- on both the program team, who handles interactions and safety for families, and the development team, whose fundraising efforts had been shaken by the shutdown. 

We look forward to participating in their volunteer programs as soon as we are able, and we are so glad to be making sure that families get the care they need while they have a child receiving medical treatment in Richmond.

The CDC says we need masks, so Midlothian, Virginia resident, Kim, her mom Bretiss, and friends from Midlothian Rotary Club jumped into action. She has turned her home into the "Corona Covers by Kim" factory, giving sturdy, reusable, cloth-filter masks to friends, healthcare centers, and first responders.

They need funds for fabric, filters, elastic bands, thread, and ziplock baggies used to transport the masks. Kim & Company are volunteering their time and talents. Can we support them by taking care of the costs?

YES, we can!

Let's see how many masks we can make and provide to those who need them! $5 might help us make 5 masks! FUND MASKS HERE.

Any excess funds will be given to the non-profit Midlothian Rotary Club for our charity fund!
