Soup Kitchen at St. Paul’s

As part of an effort by the Maumee Rotary Club, our members make periodic visits to St. Paul’s Soup Kitchen in downtown Toledo.  This is an amazing experience to help those in need and to appreciate the little things we take for granted each day.

Past Projects

Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure

In September 2008 our Club participated in the Race for the Cure in downtown Toledo.  It was a truly amazing experience, and we can’t wait to do it again next year.

Shelter Box

Rotary International organizes the production of “Shelter Boxes” for people around the world who are in severe distress.  A Shelter Box contains supplies of shelter, food, water, sanitation and basic needs to sustain 10 people for six months.  Our Club supports this cause with the funds we raise at our annual Spring Strike-Out.  Learn more at www.shelterbox.org.

Kids Unlimited

This is an after-school program for elementary school students located in central Toledo.  Volunteers are needed to tutor students and to serve as role models.  One of our members is a tutor for fall 2008, and continued involvement and support from our Club is anticipated.

The Nuzum Family

The Nuzums are dear friends of the Maumee Rotary and Rotaract clubs.  They have over 25 adopted children, many of whom have special needs.  Between the two clubs we strive make sure the Nuzums have what they need to care for their children and live comfortably.  Over time, Rotaract has provided landscaping, school supplies, holiday meals, picnic tables, and large wooden rafts for their backyard pond.  This is a project that will continue each year and is one of our favorites.
