Hello Rotary Friends,
It's that time of year again when Oceanside Rotary helps the homeless! Please help make our annual tradition with Brother Bennos an overwhelming success!
This year we will be collecting frozen turkeys on November 12th.
Drop pf location is Oceanside Abbey Carpet & Floor, 4001 Avenida de la Plata, Oceanside 92056. Drop off time is between 10 AM and 11 AM, we don't want those frozen turkeys defrosting before taking them to Brother Bennos, so please do not drop off the turkeys any earlier!
There will be a truck parked in front of Abbey's Carpets so just put them in the bed of the truck and we will do the rest!

Our club embarked five years ago on a multi-year project under the direction of Rotarian Larry Hatter, to help bring meaningful, positive change to an area of our city that has been notorious for gang violence - Crown Heights. We have entered into a partnership with Life Line that provides services to the target area and with the Oceanside Unified School District. A team of dedicated Rotarian's volunteer to take youth out of this area and expose them to basketball games, Padres games, museums, theater, music concerts, tours of Camp Pendleton, and the Oceanside Harbor. Funding for this project is raised by members of the Oceanside Rotary Club and enhanced by a matching grant from Rotary District 5340.
