| Donates Gift Cards

Throughout the month of January, the C.A.R.E.S. Committee was seeking gift card donations to benefit The Rotary Club of The Woodlands. The gift cards were to be used to benefit families seeking medical attention in our community and staying at Rotary House of The Woodlands. The gifts would be used to help families buy groceries or essentials needed during their stay.

Rotary House provides up to 90 consecutive days of free lodging for patients undergoing medical treatment at hospitals located in The Woodlands but live outside The Woodlands – Conroe area and who would find it financially difficult to pay for lodging.

To learn more about the work being done by The Rotary Club of The Woodlands visit woodlandsrotary.org.
