Winter Warmth event, hosted by Connections for the Homeless, was well- attended by Rotarian volunteers. Volunteers distributed coats, boots and other necessities for the frigid Illinois weather to community members in need. Every year, Winter Warmth distributes winter gear to anyone who needs it, without having to turn away recipients, which Connections’ Chief Executive Officer Betty Bogg said is usually the hardest part of the organization’s work. Connections anticipated approximately 500 participants to attend.
