With the recent and upcoming storms, areas of District 5230 (Central California) have been flooded and evacuated, and livelihoods have been lost.  Those with the greatest need are primarily in Pajaro and surrounding areas in Monterey County, and the areas in the Sierra Foothills in Tulare County.  Residents displaced in these areas are largely migrant farm workers, that do not have a safety net for recovery.

Partnering with Global Empowerment Mission (GEM, a trusted Rotary ally), the areas Departments of Health, and Offices of Emergency Services, Rotary District 5230 is looking for monetary donations to supply resources for food, gas, clothing, household goods, and materials for repair.  We will be working together in these areas as early as next week (starting 3/22).  District 5230 is also applying for a Rotary International Disaster Relief Grant for future needs.

In order to have a quick response, we are holding this donation campaign! Our goal is to raise $500,000!  Please make your donations now so we can get much-needed help to these communities!!  Individuals, Rotary Clubs, outside organizations, and friends of Rotary are all invited to participate, so please share this flyer and help us get support to these displaced families ASAP.

To make donations by Credit Card use the above Donate Now Button.

Or by check, mailed to:
Rotary International District 5230

Volunteer opportunities will also be available for donation distribution, clean up, and material donations provided by GEM.  Additional information will be shared as these opportunities develop.

Agriculture in Rotary District 5230 supplies a large portion of the food in our nation.  Please help us support those individuals that help make this possible.  Thank you so much for your support.

Yours in Rotary Service,
