Money will be used to provide emergency shelter and other supplies to refugees.
Arizona Daily Star Green Valley area Rotary Clubs have raised nearly $70,000 for relief efforts in Ukraine.
The Valley Verde, Green Valley and Sahuarita clubs pledged $15,000 and challenged the community to meet or exceed that amount. Within about 30 days the clubs had raised $68,213. The donation drive was helped by the Green Valley News/Sahuarita Sun and KGVY Radio. The money will be used to provide shelter kits to Ukrainian refugees. The kits, from ShelterBox USA, come with tents, blankets, tools and other emergency supplies needed by refugees.
In 2015, the Valle Verde Rotary Club helped raised $25,000 that was sent to aid victims of the Nepal earthquake. Subscribe to stay connected to Tucson. A subscription helps you access more of the local stories that keep you connected to the community.

Abortion foes in Columbus just waiting for the green light: Thomas SuddesBe it noted, though, that former Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley, whom Democrats nominated on Tuesday to challenge Gov. Mike DeWine, is 100% pro-choice, which could make November’s gubernatorial election a kind of Ohio referendum on abortion. That assumes the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe, whether wholly, as the Alito draft would have it, or partially, in a compromise. Either way, fasten your seat belts, Ohioans: Your ride to November will be bumpy, writes Thomas Suddes in his column today.
