The Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa is offering a $1,000 matching grant for Operation Warm and we need YOUR HELP spreading the word! Download the flyer and post it at your office or business to encourage the community to support this amazing and much-needed program to keep kids warm this winter!

The Waterloo Rotary Club’s Operation Warm program brings warmth and comfort to children in our community by providing brand-new winter coats to those who need them most. This program, in partnership with the Waterloo Community School District, not only provides students with the necessary gear for Iowa winters, but helps instill a sense of confidence and belonging — and puts on a smile on a child’s face. Every $20 gift provides a coat for a child who needs it in the Waterloo Community School District. Thanks to the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa, we are able to match gifts, up to $1,000, doubling your impact. Together, we can keep kids warm and help them face winter weather with the essentials they deserve.

Gifts to the Waterloo Rotary: Operation Warm Fund are tax deductible as allowed by law and you will receive an acknowledgment of your gift from CFNEIA, an accredited local nonprofit community foundation. Learn more about this fund by contacting the Community Foundation at 319-287-9106

We had a great time today connecting with each other as we practiced the Rotary motto - Service Above Self. We encourage all organizations in our community to set up an hour or more to meet at the Northeast Iowa Food Bank and help get food where it's needed most!

We Champion Volunteers: In Fiscal Year 2024, 13,338 volunteers dedicated 30,907 hours to support NEIFB’s mission of fighting hunger. Thank you to the Waterloo Rotary Club members who joined us today to help assemble meals for those we serve. We are incredibly grateful. Our work wouldn’t be possible without our dedicated volunteers! THANK YOU!
