Past Projects
Family Life Resource Center
The Family Life Resource Center is a women’s shelter providing an interim home for women and their children who are fleeing gender-based violence. To date, our club has provided both volunteer hours, as well as financial support of over $6,000. This money was used for improving the building infrastructure such as the upgrading of the security/intercom system within the agency. In aspiring to bring a ray of joy and hope to the children and youth living in the shelter, our club hosted a “Literacy Evening” in collaboration with Rotary’s education and literacy month. This was a fun-filled evening which made a difference to all who attended.
Rotary Mask Project
The COVID-19 Rotary Mask distribution has been very successful during November of 2020 in getting out in the Brampton South communities that save lives. Our goal is to have everyone in our community wear a mask in public and to promote all Public Health measures for COVID-19 prevention. This mask will best help the communities to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus to other people even if you are asymptomatic and vice versa.
