Service project earns Kohl’s contribution

Kohl’s has offered the Kohl’s Associates In Action (AIA) volunteer team to partner with Rogers Rotary because of its 501(c)(3) status and youth involvement.   The AIA team is looking to hold an event between April 6 and May 5 that serves youth and benefits the environment. If five Kohl’s associates volunteer for three hours, Kohl’s will donate $1500.

The Kohl’s contact suggested activities and urged Rotary to think of other ideas like:
– Clean up the grounds at a local park
– Plant a sustainable garden at a food pantry or plant flowers at the children’s hospital or local park
– Install rain barrels at a local nature center
– Refurbish a local little league field
– Set up a recycling program at a shelter that houses kids
– Collect used car seats at a children’s hospital for recycling
– Assist children with activities at a local Earth Day event.

Kohl’s needs to know the event plan and Rotary commitment by March 7. Bring your ideas to Wednesday’s meeting!
