Rotary of Sun Lakes helping refugee families

The Rotary Club of Sun Lakes recently partnered with the Welcome to America Project for some relief supply efforts.

The club collected personal hygiene products in April. On May 2, club members Lisbeth Levor, Sharon Flood, Ann Diamond, Stan Klein, and Kandi Skrabala worked at the Welcome to America Warehouse packing household items that will be delivered to the newly vetted immigrant families in Valley.

On May 4, the club completed welcomed deliveries to four refugee homes in the Valley, venturing as far as Glendale.

Some of the families were from Thailand’s Mai La refugee camp that houses over 50,000 refugees, whose average time spent in the camp is 20 years.

Led by Skrabala, RCSL Rotarians and their family members helping with the delivery of furniture, TVs, microwaves, laptops, sewing machines, bikes, toys, clothes, and household goods were Dr. Honora Norton, Carrie Hughes, Val and Bill Crump, Kandi and Tom Skrabala, Becky Kerr and Stan Klein.
