Remember all the things we are doing in the community:
Scholarships - We give between 2-4 vocational scholarships every year to Coastside graduating seniors. These are for young adults NOT attending a 4-year college. They can use it to attend a junior (2 year) college, or a vocational school such as auto mechanic, cosmetology, dental hygienist, bookkeeping, etc. One of our recent recipients went to truck driving school and is now making a good living for himself and his family.
Life Skills @ the High School - The Half Moon Bay Rotary Club provides a series of classes at all 3 Coastside high schools that is intended to help fill some education gaps that may be missing for graduating seniors. The classes were created for the purpose of helping students transition from high school to college or the workplace with as much practical experience as possible. Classes are taught by volunteers all of whom are local business professionals from the Coastside. Students continue to provide positive feedback indicating interest in the course content. Course topics included: 1) Computer Skills; 2) Financial Skills; 3) Resume Writing; 4) Tread Lightly and Avoid the Pitfalls; and 5) Mock Interviews.
Supporting Abundant Grace Coastside Worker Lunch Program - At the beginning of the Covid pandemic shutdown, our Club reached out to Abundant Grace to see how we could best support our homeless community members. As a result, we’ve been providing 20 lunches every Tuesday and Thursday since. These lunches are sometimes the only meals our homeless community members may get. In 2020 HMB Rotarians also built and funded the fence at the Abundant Grace Center on Kelly Ave.
Monthly Family Adoptions - Rotary is delivering household supplies and personal items monthly to 8 families designated by Coastside Hope. Each family receives a bag of $60 worth of goods including laundry soap, toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, disinfectant cleaners, toothpaste, bar soap, body lotions, hand sanitizers, deodorant, baby wipes and more.
Senior Rehab Day - Rotary members go to seniors’ homes and help them with repairs and maintenance. It may be cleaning up and weeding their gardens, repairing fences and gates, fixing windows, painting a room or part of the outside of their house, repairing steps, etc.
Crisis Needs - In 2020, Rotary raised funds ($12k) for the Coastside Crisis Fund (Covid assistance) and $3k for the CZU Fire Relief.
