EMRC SERVICE PROJECTS
Service Committee Reports
 
 
The Edina Morningside Rotary Club (EMRC) is committed to executing on regular basis (at least quarterly) service projects which positively impact members of our local community. Recent projects have benefited individuals in hospice or memory care, those in need of food security, at-promise youth, and unhoused individuals.

In August and early September, the Club completed two projects in support of early education and development. The first was in support of Edina’s Early Learning Center (ELC) which is part of the Edina Public School System, The ELC provides multiple educational resources for both participating students and the students’ parents. EMRC and the ELC partnered to purchase art supplies, language development games, personal toiletries, and snacks and packed them in “welcome package” lunch boxes. The Early Learning Center was opened in 2017 and provides access to all school district resources including Early Childhood Screening, Early Childhood Special Education, Preschool for 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds and Early Childhood Family Education.

The Club’s second project was collecting children’s’ books and donating them to the Minnesota chapter of Reach Out and Read. The non-profit partners with pediatric health care providers to educate parents of infants.
