Rotary District 5230 has again partnered with GEM (Global Empowerment Mission) to bring 250 mattresses and two 53' semi-trailers filled with household items (small appliances, light fixtures, faucets etc.) for the victims of the recent floods in the Sierra Foothills (Tulare County). These items have been secured through GEM with the funds we have received from our RI Disaster Relief Grant and your generous donations to our District 5230 Disaster Relief Fund. We are still raising funds for future phases, so please get your donations in and help us continue to provide this much needed relief!
Trucks will be arriving on Thursday, April 13 at the City of Lindsey Corporate Yard. We are in need of Rotary volunteers (including friends of Rotary & Interact) to help unload the mattresses and home goods items on Thursday, April 13th, sort the items on Friday, April 14th in preparation for community distributions on Saturday, April 15th and Sunday, April 16th. Due to the weight of the mattresses, we will need some volunteers that are able to lift at least 35 pounds.
Please volunteer and help us get these valuable resources to the community. Use the following link to sign up:

If you have a dolly, please bring it with you.
This effort will help our neighbors get back into their homes, and have some sense of normalcy return to their lives.
