Matthew 25 TRANSFORM Week (Aug 31-Sep 4)

When Matthew 25 transforms a home, they transform a life.

Sunrise Rotary members can join Matthew 25 - our community service partner and meeting host - by serving during TRANSFORM 2020. 
 
Signup is encouraged for Sunrise Members individually, or join up with another Rotarian on your own schedules. 
 
During Transform Week, volunteers help homeowners in the Taylor and Time Check neighborhoods with home repair and maintenance projects that they aren’t able to complete on their own. Grants, donations and sponsorships allow Matthew 25 to do these home repairs at no cost to the homeowners.
 
This year the work and volunteers will be organized to minimize contact and maintain distances.   Information and signup:
