Ace Hardware Donates Seeds

A big Thank You to Tom Nekoloff,  Manager of the Ace Hardware Avon Lake Store, who donated 400+ packets of vegetable, flowers and herb seeds to North Coast Rotary Foundation.  We distributed them to our community partners:  Community Resource Services (CRS), the Avon Lake Public Library, the Domonkas Library (Sheffield Lake) and the French Creek Family Y for their Youth Summer Camp.

Pictured are half of the seed packets donated! Check with your local libraries!

School Supplies for Families in Need

Community supported fundraisers and personal donations from Rotarians allowed North Coast Rotary Foundation to donate 80+ boxes of gallon Ziplock bags (value $500) for Students’ school supply needs in Avon and Avon Lake. The project is coordinated by Community Resource Services (CRS). 

Thank you to our many supporters and to CRS for their impactful projects.

Donation to CRS Easter Brunch Baskets Project

North Coast Rotarians supplied Coffee, Creamer, Pancake Mix and Cinnamon Rolls to Community Resource Services (CRS) for their Easter Brunch Basket project. (Thanks to Apples Market who significantly discounted our purchases!) CRS was able to assemble Easter Brunch baskets for 75 families in need, combining these with donations of eggs, bacon, syrup, Easter egg decorating kits, fruit cocktail, candy and Easter baskets from other organizations including New Westsiders. Several Rotarians and New Westsiders assisted CRS staff in organizing the donations. Families began picking up their Baskets at the beginning of April. (North Coast Rotary has long supported CRS whose mission is to diminish the effects of poverty in Avon and Avon Lake: https://www.aalcrs.org)
