Donation buys new supplies

Rotarians help replenish stolen emergency supplies for Nanaimo school.

Since the kiosk at Hammond Bay Elementary School was cleaned out by thieves last December, students and parents fought back.

They are fundraising to replace the $15,000 worth of lost earthquake and disaster emergency preparedness items such as water, blankets, flashlights, tarps and food items.

Their efforts recently got a boost with a donation from the Nanaimo Daybreak Rotary Club for $1,000.
