Christmas Angels Visit Bluffton!

The Bluffton Rotary Club, with the generosity and support of its members, is making many local children and families feel the “merry” in Christmas this holiday season!

In just three weeks, Bluffton Rotary Club members donated $653.15 toward the Christmas Angels fund, which the club then matched for a total of $1306.30. Add to that total the Bingo donation of $2717 and Sarah Litchfield and Megan Mack, chairs for the event, had over $4,000 to work with!

With funds in hand, we were able to adopt ten children from Bluffton Self Help, so they will have presents under the tree this year. We also adopted five children for presents from Beaufort Memorial Hospital HealthLink.; these children are currently undergoing therapy for physical disabilities. Michele Cleland helped identify a family in need, which gave us two more children to adopt for presents.

In addition, we adopted eight families (38 people) through Family Promise of Beaufort County; these families will receive food for a Christmas Dinner.  One of these families was also adopted for gifts along with food.

Altogether, we are helping feed 38 people and providing Christmas gifts for 19 children! Special thanks to Sarah, Megan and the entire Bluffton Rotary Club for making this happen!
