Bring Happiness
to a needy family It Feels Good!This is your opportunity to share in the joy of Christmas with needy children of Nogales, Mexico. Rotary Clubs in District 7080 are participating with Arizona and Mexican Rotarians, distributing these Shoe-Box gifts to the needy children. Members will travel to Mexico and distribute the gifts, truly Lending a Hand.
Funds are required to help purchase box items in Mexico. Because of US Customs, it is much easier to accept funds and buy in Mexico.
