Rotary Club of Fullerton: Project Shield

Community Spotlight

A huge thank you to both Dan and Susan Ouweleen for their exceptional leadership to oversee the Project Shield effort that began mid-March in response to a conversation with St Judes and their needs for protective masks.

The Rotary District 5320 collectively raised $132,658 to purchase enough products to assemble 67,000 face shields that were distributed to hospitals, senior centers, and local businesses. The project had 787 volunteers from multiple cities, 159 coming from Love Fullerton sign ups, and they offered 3,919 volunteer hours.
