Although Campbell County School District generally has adequate funding for over 8,400 students, many students still suffer from lack of proper clothing and essential toiletries to safely and comfortably attend school. Gillette Energy Rotary has established a "School Pantry" at Hillcrest Elementary school to provide such items as winter gear, outer and under clothing, socks, shoes, boots, as well as toiletries, including deodorant, soaps,combs, brushes, shampoo and others. We would like to expand to one additional school and the Youth Emergency Services (YES) House.
Along with that, we would like to assist with our Special Olympics programs by members volunteering for the event, and purchase shirts for their 100 athletes and coaches.
