Service in the Community
Monday morning we delivered the following items to the Good Shepherd Shelter for their Meals to Go program.
These foods are given to people who arrive at the shelter late and cannot stay overnight. They are given food to go!
118 sandwiches - Ham & cheese, Chicken Salad, Bologna, Egg Salad, Salmon, Peanut Butter and PB&J
20 Homemade Pumpkin Walnut Muffins
24 Mini Chocolate Cupcakes
36 - 2 per pack Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies
Toronto East Rotary participated in a Toronto Adventure Program on Saturday at Withrow Park to help raise funds for Michael Garron Hospital. There were 350 participants in the Adventure and they were offered a snack of Apples and/or Bananas. Apparently not many people actually took them. So they donated them to The Good Shepherd. I have included a large box of each for the shelter. The fruit was donated by No Frills to the Michael Garron Hospital - it takes a village!
Thanks again to everyone from our team who contributes to these donations - members of the Rotary Toronto Eglinton and The Toronto East Rotary Club: Dawn Smith, Marion Chan, Norma Davis Gloria Tuck, and Linda Czestochowski.
Our next donation delivery date will be Monday November 3rd.
Polio Anywhere Is A Risk To Children Everywhere
Polio cases have declined rapidly since 1985, but the fight isn't over. Polio is a crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease, and for as little as $0.60, a child can be protected against the virus for life. If we don't finish the fight right now, more than 10 million children under the age of five could be paralyzed by polio in the next 40 years.
Since the global initiative began more than 30 years ago, Rotary and its partners have reduced polio cases by more than 99 percent worldwide. There are only two countries where the wild polio virus has never been stopped: Afghanistan and Pakistan.
It’s Achievable! There is no cure for polio, but the polio vaccine successfully prevents cases.
End Polio Now!
