Fill A Purse For a Sister Campaign 2024

The Rotary Club of Richmond Hill is collecting purses for the “2024 Fill a Purse for a Sister Campaign”. Can you please help us?

Often women in distress arrive at a shelter with nothing. The purse brings comfort, hope and dignity to women and youth in crisis with the gift of purses filled with personal necessities.

Let’s get started!

How to get involved? Choose a beloved gently used purse, or purchase a new one. With love and thoughtfulness, fill the purse with items such as feminine hygiene products, tissues, shampoo, conditioner, face mask (not disposable), hand sanitizer, toothbrush, floss, hair brush, gloves, hat, scarf, lip balm, coffee shop gift card, notepad, pen, a whistle or flashlight. The campaign ends December 1, 2024.

Where do I drop off the purses? Rotary is collecting at three locations:

1. Dr.CP Giri Dental Office at 9791 Bayview Avenue, Richmond Hill

2. Eggsmart at 155 East Beaver Creek Rd, Richmond Hill

3. Power Bar Café, 105 Commerce Valley Drive West, Markham

If you need more information please contact Veda Harricharran at vharrich@gmail.com, or go to www.FillAPurseForASisterCampaign.ca Please support this wonderful cause!

Rotaract donates to Food Bank

The Rotaract Club of Richmond Hill presented a cheque for $1,500 to the Richmond Hill Community Food Bank!

The Rotaractors raised the funds on their own. Way to go Rotaractors! We are so proud of you!

Rotaract clubs bring together people ages 18 and older to exchange ideas with leaders in the community, develop leadership and professional skills, and have fun through service. In Richmond Hill and around the world, Rotary and Rotaract members work side by side to take action through service. Rotaract is helping change our community.

The Richmond Hill Community Food Bank is a non-government, independently run non-profit agency, founded to provide temporary emergency food assistance to those in need.
