As Rotarians we are always looking for ways to make a difference in our community or communities around the world. Rotary is all about helping people in need - Service Above Self.
Our Club began the new year amidst the seemingly never-ending pandemic We cannot be bystanders while we see needs all around us. So we partnered up with a like-minded sister organization to help out our neighbors who are in need. The Heritage E-Club of New York. in collaboration with Long Island Muslim Society (LIMS) raised funds and purchased winter supplies - blankets and like items for distribution in a very needy neighborhood of Jamaica, New York. Care was taken to enure that the recipients were in real need and had not received winter supplies previously.
Thanks to new member Raihan Rahman and his mother Club Rotarian Mursheda Rahman, who together coordinated the project. Club members Rahat Hossain and Past President Zaki Hossain among others, contributed to this worthwhile project. Donned in bright yellow vests emblazoned with the Rotary logo, volunteers loaded a minivan a carted the supplies to the distribution point, where the handed out the supplies.
