Our goal is to raise over $60,000. Eagle River Rotary Club Foundation Inc. 501(c)3

Through the Vilas County News-Review’s WARM THE CHILDREN FUND, needy area children will get the winter clothing they so badly want and need. So what is the Vilas County News-Review’s WARM THE CHILDREN FUND? It’s neighbors helping neighbors. The Vilas County News-Review is asking readers to donate to the fund, and proceeds will be used to buy warm winter clothing for needy area children. There are no administrative fees; all the money will be used for the children.

How will needy children be identified?

The need is especially great this year.

The coordinators of the Vilas County NewsReview’s WARM THE CHILDREN have made arrangements with Shopko Hometown and Glik’s in Eagle River, and will assign volunteer shoppers to take the children shopping for their winter clothing. Shoppers will be volunteers who want to help by donating a little of their time for this worthwhile cause.
