Like all 35,000 Rotary Clubs around the world, we are doing what we can to help our local community. Our top priorities have been our local health care workers at Cedars-Sinai Marina del Rey Hospital (a corporate club member), and the most vulnerable in our community – isolated seniors, and low-resource families without income.

 

Working in conjunction with the hospital, with a local production studio, and with members’ own 3D printers, we have delivered over 2200 face shields and face mask adapters. In addition, thanks to corporate member Rainbow Acres, we have provided over 200 meals to day and night shift health care workers. We also teamed up with Westchester Elks and the LAX Coastal Chamber of Commerce to support a highly successful hospital blood drive where over 90 volunteers gave vital blood.

 

In association with Rainbow Acres and with non-profits that we work with regularly - the Boys and Girls Club of Venice and the Mar Vista Family Center – we have allocated some of our foundation’s resources to their organizations to help provide food and support to families most vulnerable during the pandemic. We will continue to monitor their needs.
