Rotary Club of Wichita Falls North along with District 5790
assists in $161,000 Grant with focus on COVID-19 relief efforts
in North Central Texas, including the greater Wichita Falls area
Rotarians are People of Action and this was on fine display recently when they were asked to support Covid-19 related needs in their community. Rotarians in District 5790 (North Central TX) put out the call to Club members and friends and raised $65,000 in just ten days. Contributions came from Rotarians and clubs throughout North Central Texas as well as District 5870 in the Austin area. Our global partner, District 9810 in Australia, remembered our contribution to their wildfire relief fund and donated to our effort as well! Our $65,000 raised was matched by the Rotary International Foundation, becoming $161,000 to benefit healthcare and hunger in our communities!
Local hospitals will receive financial support, funds will be used to purchase personal protective equipment, testing kits, thermometers, hazmat suits, and other consumable medical goods.
