Edmonds Rotary Makes First Donation to Housing Hope Madrona Highlands
Edmonds Rotary is proud to announce our first donation to Housing Hope Madrona Highlands, a 52-unit apartment building designed to provide housing for low-income and unhorsed families with children. The building is an essential part of the effort to provide stable homes for vulnerable families in our community.
In a meaningful gesture of support, Alison Pence of Edmonds Rotary presented Carol Megenity, House Hope Ambassador, with a check for $352 from our Happy Bucks Fund. This donation will go directly toward meeting the essential needs of the families residing in the Madrona Highlands, helping them as they work toward stability and independence.
The partnership between Edmonds Rotary and Housing Hope is just the beginning, and we are excited to continue supporting this incredible initiative in the future. We believe that by working together, we can help provide lasting solutions for families in need, ensuring they have the resources and support to thrive.
Stay tuned for more updates as we work alongside Housing Hope to make a positive difference in the lives of families in our community!
