Our Rotary Club is seeking a District Grant to support homeless students from pre-school to high school, where currently 170 students (up from 107 reported last year) are identified as experiencing homelessness. Each December, the school district organizes a "Winter Wellness Fair" to provide these students with gifts, essential items and advice/resources to support their well-being. In 2025-26, Prescott-Frontier submitted and received a district grant which allowed us to participate in the Winter Wellness Fair. The responses that we received from the participants as well as school leadership was heartwarming, and many tears of joy were shed.
Through this grant, our club will contribute both financially and through volunteer service provided by our members to enhance the Winter Wellness Fair. Grant funds will be used to help with the purchase of gifts, essential items (such as hygiene products, school supplies, and warm clothing accessories), and wrapping supplies. Our club members will volunteer to shop for and wrap gifts and help with setup and support of the event.
We believe that providing thoughtful gifts and personal support at this event will improve students' confidence, foster a sense of security and positively impact their academic success and overall wellness.
