The club raised $12,000 at its Harley Raffle event this year to fund the program.

The Salvation Army provided the club with the names of 19 families and 50 children for Adapt-A-Family.

Rotary Club members manage the whole process from start to delivery. Members raise the funds and shop at Walmart and JCPenney for toys and clothing for all the children. They wrap the presents and deliver them to each family along with gift certificates to Walmart and Safeway, in addition to the
Christmas dinner supplied by the Salvation Army.

Pictured is the beginning of this year’s shopping spree.
