The Rotary clubs from across Greater Saint John are joining together for "Boots, Bikes & Band-aids". Rotary club member Grant Kimball tells Tide news they're collecting gently used bikes, shoes, band-aids, hard vitamins and school supplies to ship down to the Dominican Republic. Kimball says they give the items to sugar cane workers who live outside the city and have no water or electricity. He says when they did the fundraiser two years ago it had a huge impact. Kimbal adds cash donations are also welcome.
Collection will be taking place today from 11:00am-3:00pm at Superstores in Saint John, Rothesay, Sussex and Hampton.
