Keep the Children Warm this Winter: Coats for Hugs Keep Our Children Warm this Winter! Donate to our Coat Drive! Every year, as it gets cold, we donate as many coats, hats, and scarves as possible to needy children in our community: Grenville Bakers Boys and Girls Club, Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club, Glen Cove Youth Bureau, Uniondale Elementary Schools, and others. Our volunteers shop for deals on clothes and wrap them beautifully for the children. Last year a little boy was sitting in the warm classroom and did not want to take off his new coat. He was so happy to have received such a gift and did not want to part with it! Please open your heart and help us provide coats!

Hurrah for Gloves For Hugs! Pictured are just a few of the new coats, hats, and gloves that Locust Valley Rotary Club gave to children this winter. Spearheaded by Past President Karen Rosolino, Gloves for Hugs is Locust Valley Rotary Club's annual project to provide warm winter wear to children in need, which began in 2017. Many thanks to our partner organizations - the Grenville Baker Boys & Girls Club, the Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club, the Glen Cove Youth Board, the California Avenue School (Uniondale), St. Martha's Social Ministry (Uniondale) and St. Dominic's Outreach - for helping to identify and reach out to children in need. Thanks also to club members, to Rotary District 7255, and to other donors who make Gloves for Hugs possible each year.
