FOSTER YOUTH EMANCIPATION BASKETS

 

The Rotary Clubs of Elk Grove and Laguna Sunrise formed a partnership, wrote a matching-funds Rotary District grant and worked together to provide emancipated foster youth, relocating within the local Elk Grove community, an “Emancipation Basket”. Valued at approximately $300-$350, each “basket” contained basic kitchen appliances and cookware, non-perishable food items, a gift card to a local grocery store for perishable foods, various cleaning and personal hygiene items, and additional miscellaneous items based on individual student need.  All items were purchased and stored in the warehouse of Floor to Ceiling, and, on Monday, January 13, Rotary members picked up items to deliver to students.
