Summary: Christmas food and gift baskets for low income families in Jerome, Idaho
For more than 20 years the Jerome Rotary Club has gathered, assembled, and delivered Christmas Baskets with food and toys to needy families in the Jerome community. Families are required to fill out an application that demonstrates financial need. Families who qualify are provided with a large box of food that includes all of the supplies necessary for a Christmas dinner (turkey, ham, potatoes, rolls, vegetables, etc.) and 2-3 gifts for every child in the family. Food baskets are also provided to needy elderly members of the community. For the last several years, the Jerome Rotary Christmas Basket project has provided baskets to more than 300 families annually. Club members are involved throughout the year in raising funds and gathering donations for the project. Club members spend multiple evenings and weekends in December sorting and wrapping toys, assembling delivery boxes, filling boxes with food and, just prior to Christmas day, delivering the baskets.

Please do not reply to this email. You should have received your grant by now, mailed to your club’s mailing address Aug. 11. We are using a bill payer service this year, and the envelope will look different than in the past. Please tell your treasurer to watch for it, and not to discard. Please call me if you don’t have your check (208) 308-5617. Ignore the physical address on the check – D5400 is still PO Box 9592, Boise, ID 83707.
