SUNUP ROTARY OF PRESCOTT DONATES 1000 MEDICAL-GRADE MASKS TO 3 LOCAL SHELTERS/FOOD BANKS
 
The CDC recommends that wearing masks is one of the most powerful weapons to help slow and stop the spread of Covid-19; however, for many families and individuals, food and shelter is their overwhelming first-priority. Sunup Rotary of Prescott has begun providing those in our community who are facing acute challenges with top-quality, 3-ply medical grade masks which were purchased and  then donated by friends in Taiwan. This week the Sunup Rotary Club of Prescott delivered 1000 of these masks to the following three local shelters and food banks:
 
The Stepping Stones Agencies, which provides advocacy services 24/7, including safe emergency shelter to adults and children affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of victimization.
 
Prescott Area Shelter and Services (PASS), which provides temporary housing, resources, individualized case management, and a pathway to permanent housing for women, children, and veterans.
 
Prescott Community Cupboard Food Bank provides desperately needed support to people who are experiencing food insecurity. The food bank provides emergency food supplies to all in need, between 2:30 – 4:30 pm, Monday – Friday.
 
The Sunup Rotary Club is committed, as are all Rotary clubs, to working to meet local community needs. The club meets on Wednesday mornings at 7:00 AM via Zoom. Visit us at our website at www.prescottsunuprotary.orgfor more information on the club. You are most welcome to join us at our meetings!
