Under the leadership of Club President, Megan Reynolds, our club partnered with two other Springfield Rotary Clubs on October 4, and we participated in the United Way of Central Illinois Day of Action (image above).
We worked for the Safe Families for Children Springfield/Decatur. They serve families in need in the Greater Springfield area. The image below shows Megan with their Director, Kasey Miller.
We assisted in refurbishing the inner appearance of their new office by giving the walls a fresh coat of paint (image on left and below).
We also organized the children’s toys (image on left) and clothing (image below) to make them easier to access and use in the future. Megan's mom and sister helped us sort clothes.
We really enjoyed helping out the Springfield Chapter of Safe Families for Children in its efforts to transform the spaces where they meet with families, as well as donors and their board, into a warm and inviting environment.
