RCOT’s Totes of Inspiration service project for women at The Haven was a resounding success! Thanks to your generosity, our Club collected boxes filled with journals, pens, highlighters, and folders. On November 14, 2024, we assembled nearly 100 starter kits to welcome new members when they first arrive at The Haven’s residential treatment program—and had a great time together while doing it! Our previous Handbags of Hope project brought holiday cheer to more than 50 Haven women. Project lead Lisa Fogle, along with Vic Jacobs, prepared a delicious brunch for our group. After assembling the kits, we toured the residential facility.Many women arrive at The Haven with minimal personal belongings. These starter kits help them stay organized and provide comfort as they begin their recovery journey. Dr. Hugh Thompon described RCOT project’s contributions, “On an expansive property, The Haven provides support, counseling, and resources for women to rediscover their own value, succeed in the workplace, and give back to society.”
The Haven board and staff send their heartfelt thank-you to all Rotarians who donated items and participated in the assembly process. Your kindness and support make a real difference!
