Welcome to The Rotary Club of Saline Michigan!
Meal Packing for Hope Clinic
During a recent noon meeting of the Saline Rotary Club, Rotarians packed meals for donation to the Hope Clinic in Ypsilanti, MI. Hope serves a hot meal in carry-out containers six nights a week, but many folks struggle in-between those meals. To help with this issue, Hope gives out sack meals to those who need them during mealtimes. These sack meals are small brown bags with shelf-stable food items like pop-top ravioli, granola bars, fruit cups, juice boxes, etc. Hope gives out around 600 lunch bags a week, so this is a consistent need.
The club packed 54 meals of tuna, trail mix, applesauce, juice boxes, and cookies. This meal packing event was an fun way for club members to enjoy the lunch break while also assisting members of the community. We are thankful to the Hope Clinic for distributing these meals to those in need.
Saline Rotary Club Gives to Preemie Pals
The Saline Rotary Club visited a Preemie Pals event at the Saline American Legion and presented them with a check for $150. This donation was planned for a wholesale purchase of a roll of quilt batting. At a recent meeting of the Rotary Club, representatives from Preemie Pals presented a wonderful overview of their work and mentioned that batting is one of the few quilt components that are not donated.
Preemie Pals aims to provide care and support to families that are experiencing a medical crisis. Their project seeks to comfort and uplift families facing a serious crisis with their child with the donation of a free quilt. On a practical level the quilts help darken the isolette and muffle the sounds of the NICU unit. It is often shared that the quilts lift the spirits of the family with their cheerful colors and fun themes. Many of the Preemie volunteers have experienced having a child in the NICU and understand the stresses the families are going through.
