Rotary Sunrise Elves Social - Youth HQ Gift Bags

Let's celebrate the holidays with a Christmas holiday morning hot apple cider party (Dec. 17) where we will have a social time and complete the Youth HQ Gift bags.

The Rotary Club of Red Deer Sunrise is working with Youth HQ again this year to bring a touch of Christmas cheer to vulnerable teenagers in our community. Youth HQ hoped for 50 gift bags; 25 for gals and 25 for guys. We exceeded our target of 50 by 6 for a total of 56 bags!!  Thanks to Irina Peters and Bev Refugio for leading this initiative.   We need to complete the bags by adding the Tim Hortons $10 gift cards, toothpaste and toothbrust donated by Riverstone Dental and fluff the red or green tissue to ID the bags for a gal or a guy.  A festive snack compliments of your president will be provided.

There are two ways to help:  

1. Compile the bags yourself. Each bag to contain:

Pair of mitts/gloves, toque, neck-warmer/scarf, pair of socks, shower gel/shampoo, lip balm, deodorant, healthy treat like a pack of granola bars, a Christmas treat and a Christmas card signed by you. Please put supplies in a 10” X 13” gift bag.

Our Rotary elves will add toothbrush, tooth paste and floss plus a Tim Horton’s gift card. Bring your completed gift bag(s) to our Dec 17 Meeting aka the Elves' Meeting at Sunnybrook Farm. If you can't make the meeting to bring your completed bags, Judy-Ann has offered that they can be dropped off at Casa Gouda or she could come pick them up. 

OR 

2. Donate and we will do the shopping. With careful shopping we can do a bag for $25.00. E-transfer funds to rotarysunrise@shaw.ca before December 10, 2025.

Thank you for making a difference in a teenager’s Christmas!
