Faribault Rotary ready to spread the warmth

Rotarians love giving back to our community as we live by the motto of “Service Above Self.”. This is Faribault Rotary Club’s fourth year of hosting Warm Our Community which is an event where we give away winter outerwear to school age students in the Faribault community.

Our best estimate is that we were able to provide 100 families and hundreds of local youth with needed outerwear during the Warm Our Community event last year. Read more
