Florissant Rotary gives $113,829 In Service to the Community
The Florissant Rotary Club recently donated $113,829.72 to various community services such as CAP Grants, scholarships, cash donations, and building materials. They are now accepting donations through their relatively new 501c3.
These funds will be used to help ensure that local community service providers, such as Marygrove for children, local hospitals, TEAM food pantry, Valley Industries, and others who are genuinely effecting the lives of some of the most at-risk residents, are improved.
The importance of the Club and their fundraising efforts are even more critical now that the license office is controlled by a private company and the income that was once coming back to the community through the license office fees, no longer is.
