Rotarians from the hurricane committee will be reaching out to clubs throughout the district to schedule a presentation about this project.
100% of all funds raised for these hurricane relief efforts will be donated to the Moca Rotary Club to purchase and distribute supplies and administer vaccines for disease prevention to those families in need. Donations will be tax deductible and should be sent to:
