Thanksgiving Harvest Drive
The Thanksgiving Harvest Drive presented by the Rotary Club of Weston was
started 16 years ago by Renee Herman and the staff and students at Country
Isles Elementary School. It is an awe inspiring program to help families in need
around Thanksgiving time. The program is founded on the principle of children
helping children in a community-wide effort to stamp out hunger. In the
beginning, through donations given by children in the schools and several
sponsors in the community, families were given a weeks worth of groceries
along with a Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. Over the years, the
project has evolved and grown into providing families not only with food but
also clothing, books, toys, and baby items. Last year over 200 families were
able to receive these incredible gifts.
Not only does the Harvest Drive help families but it also teaches children of all
ages the powerful lifelong lesson about community involvement, caring and
giving to others in need. Over the past few years, the need for this type of
assistance has really grown, and thus, trying to continually fill the need, the
Harvest Drive has expanded to the northern part of Broward County as well as
to the Miramar area.
