Rapid City Rushmore Rotary celebrated the holiday by providing diapers for Mommy's Closet, a program within Volunteers of America. Rotarians donated over $900 in diapers and cash donations. Mommy's Closet is a free crisis resource provider that lends a helping hand to moms, dads, and families with children under the age of five. Because young families have particular needs yet sometimes have trouble meeting those needs for a variety of reasons, Mommy's Closet provides assistance by supplying necessities to help take care of babies and children.
     This diaper donation goes hand in hand with a District Grant, Rushmore Rotary received to provide health kits to Mommy's Closet clients.  Members packed 250 bags of goodies on February 25. The matching funds were raised by Tikes & Bikes Poker Run in July.
